Abstract

This research explores the resilient domain, that is, supply chain robustness, which is important in the field of supply chain management. The present research aims to analyze the relationship between supply chain robustness, firm competitiveness and performance of South African logistics firms. A quantitative research methodology was employed for this study. The study used Smart PLS to analyze the data. Supply chain robustness antecedents show a strong positive relationship to firm competitiveness. Also, firm competitiveness was found to have a positive significant relationship with the performance of logistics firms. The proposed model has a high potential to secure future supply chains. This is the first study to be conducted in South African logistics firms using the dynamic capability theory to understand the relationship between the constructs. The study also provides an extensive overview of the present extent of the robustness research and it proposes a conceptual framework to further extend the knowledge in this field.
