Abstract= "The assertion “Our people are what set us apart from our rivals” is a common
statement made by nearly every company, highlighting the significance of
their people as the most valuable asset. Similarly, a corporate culture emphasizing
risk awareness and learning from experiences has played a key role in
shaping supply chain resilience (SCRES) amidst competitive dynamics in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Employee engagement, communication,
and collaboration, as dimensions of SC risk awareness, determine the
effectiveness of firms’ cultures in handling large-scale disruptions with robustness
and agility. Additionally, the COVID-19 crisis has had a positive
impact on firms’ learning orientation. The crucial necessity of digital supply
chain (SC) transformation to enhance SCRES under pandemic conditions has
further reinforced the need for dynamic adaptation and reconfiguration of
firms’ culture and employee skillsets through digital upskilling.",

The assertion “Our people are what set us apart from our rivals” is a common statement made by nearly every company, highlighting the significance of their people as the most valuable asset.

Employee engagement, communication, and collaboration, as dimensions of SC risk awareness, determine the effectiveness of firms’ cultures in handling large-scale disruptions with robustness and agility.
