Abstract

This paper explores the pivotal role of supply chain collaboration in building resilience within the Chinese automotive industry amidst the new kind of disruption catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Resource Dependency Theory (RDT) provides the theoretical foundation for this research, which used case studies and interviews to examine resilience strategies. The research found information sharing, resource sharing (supporting smaller suppliers), and adjustments (seeking external help) played key roles. This research highlights collaboration’s importance in building supply chain resilience and offers practical guidance for navigating disruptions.
