Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the outset of 2020, firms around the globe are more susceptible to disruptive events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering this is as ‘black swan” event, many firms are still struggling to survive in this pandemic period. In consequence, building resilience to sustain business operations and supply chain processes has become an emerging topic for academic researchers and practitioners. Although a significant amount of research has been conducted to understand how firms and their supply chains can develop resilience and manage sustainability during this pandemic time, the majority of studies are conceptual in nature, with limited empirical evidence. This Special Issue is aiming to address this gap in literature. There are several research questions that remain unanswered in the context of pandemic, for example: i) how to measure organizational resilience from a pandemic (i.e. COVID-19) perspective; ii) what resources and capabilities are critically important for firms to build organizational resilience and manage sustainability; iii) what strategies are salient for managing procurement, processing, and distribution processes to enhance organizational/supply chain resilience and sustainability; iv) how organizational resilience are related firm’s sustainability practice and performance; v) how organizational resilience is related to firm’s health and safety management practice, considering its critical importance during pandemic time; vi) how managers and employees skills and competencies play a role in building organizational resilience; vii) what types of leadership is effective in building organizational resilience and sustainability; viii) how organizational learning, re-learning, and unlearning practices facilitate in building resilience; and ix) how different forms/types of social capital facilitate in building organizational resilience. This Special Issue is not limited to above mentioned research questions. Any manuscript that demonstrates a novel theoretical contribution to organizational/supply chain resilience and sustainability literature in the context of pandemic are always welcomed. We are also open to receive any conceptual manuscript that demonstrate a novel theoretical angle.
