Abstract
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, achieving sustainability and competitiveness in supply chain management (SCM) has become a critical priority for organisations. This study explores the role of Dynamic Supply Chain Capabilities (DSCC)—encompassing agility, adaptability, and resilience—in shaping Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices and their impact on Supply Chain Performance. Drawing on Dynamic Capabilities Theory and the Resource-Based View (RBV), the research investigates how organisations can leverage DSCC to integrate economic, environmental, and social considerations into their supply chain operations.
Using a quantitative research design, data was collected through structured questionnaires from supply chain professionals across various industries. Descriptive and inferential analyses examined the relationships between DSCC, SSCM practices, and supply chain performance. The findings reveal that organisations with strong DSCC are better equipped to sense environmental changes, seize opportunities, and reconfigure resources, leading to improved sustainability outcomes. Key areas of strength include supplier collaboration, process reengineering, and product reliability. However, the study identifies room for improvement in circular economy practices, on-time delivery, and customisation capabilities.
The study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the DSCC-SSCM-performance relationship and offering a comprehensive framework for understanding how dynamic capabilities drive sustainable supply chain transformation. It provides practical recommendations for organisations seeking to enhance their supply chain resilience, sustainability, and overall performance. By addressing gaps in decision-making, execution, and customer responsiveness, organisations can better navigate market uncertainties and achieve long-term sustainability goals.
