Suggested future research questions

Proposition	Gap	Research question	Theory	Method
Proposition 1: The resilience of SC networks to disruption risks is enhanced through transformation as more firms adopt, integrate, and normalize resilience-creating processes	Emerging Technology adoption and process creation	How may managerial biases in interpreting AI-generated inputs impact firm responsiveness and network resilience?	Dynamic Capabilities Theory Network Theory Complexity Theory Resource-Dependency Theory	Delphi Study
	Emerging Technology adoption and process creation	What impact has firm-level adoption of emerging technology (i.e., machine learning and predictive analytics) had on propagating resilience throughout supply chain networks?		Survey
	Firm improvisation and network resilience	How does firm-level supply chain improvisation affect overall network responsiveness prior to the need for broader supply chain adaptation?		Experiment
Proposition 2: The integration of firms' varied structures across SC networks creates stability that maintains responsiveness while preparing the system to persist, adapt, and transform	Responsiveness element that has the greatest impact on network resilience	How does process standardization in a supply chain network affect the adoption rate of supply chain visibility technologies?	Responsiveness View Organizational Learning Theory Network Theory	Longitudinal Study (Quasi-Experiment)
		How does structure hardening in supply chain networks affect the time firms require to recover from disruptions?		Longitudinal Study (Quasi-Experiment)
		What are the effects of firm supplier selection and sourcing strategy on network persistence capability, response, and recovery?		Case Study
Proposition 3: An aggregate of firms' complementarities that support responsiveness enables disruption risk mitigation, dispersion of these practices, and facilitates the transformation of the SC into a more resilient network	Government policy change and responsiveness activities	How do firm complementarities support network resilience across multinational supply networks?	Relational View Resource-Dependency Theory Complexity Theory	Case Study
	Government policy change and responsiveness activities	How does interfirm resource-sharing in a supply chain network affect overall resource munificence?		Simulation
	Tiered data transparency and resilience building feedback loop	To what degree are the relationships among firms in a supply chain network associated with the structures and processes those firms develop?	Mid-range Theorizing Network Theory	Exploratory Interviews
