Abstract
Purpose
The research on entrepreneurial leadership (EL) and supply chain resilience (SCR) relationship is still in its exploration stage. Previous research indicates that EL is important for enhancing supply chain performance, including its resilience. However, the conditions through which EL affects SCR remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of EL on SCR in the context of SMEs, in addition to explore the combined moderating effects of big data analytics capability (BDAC) and environmental dynamism (ED) in the EL–SCR relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
Hierarchical regression analysis via PROCESS Macro was used to analyze the data collected from manufacturing SMEs in India.
Findings
The findings reveal that EL positively and significantly affects SCR. Importantly, BDAC actually positively moderates the EL–SCR relationship regardless of the level of dynamism of the business environment.
Originality/value
This research expands the existing body of knowledge on EL and SCR within the context of developing countries. The findings offer useful insights for SME managers and decision-makers, who are anticipated to consider the adoption of BDAC in their firms. This has implications that with BDAC adoption, it is anticipated that SMEs will be able to take advantage of the full potential of EL to enhance their SCR regardless of the level of dynamism of the business environment.
