Unpacking the Social Capital–Adaptability Link in Supply Chains: A Dynamic Capabilities Perspective in Emerging Markets
-
<p style="text-align: justify;">This study examines the impact social capital exerts on supply chain adaptability in Pakistan's manufacturing sector under the Dynamic Capability View, offering theoretical and managerial implications. Social capital was conceptualized through internal collaboration among employees and external collaboration, and its impact on supply chain adaptability. The measurements were gathered within manufacturing companies and analyzed with PLS-SEM. The results indicate that internal and external collaboration is remarkable and positively affects all dimensions of Supply chain adaptability (p < 0.005), and R² values of 0.691 (CSCA), 0.669 (ISCA), and 0.571 (SSCA), demonstrating strong explanatory power. Model fit indices further confirmed robustness. Theoretically, findings extend DCV by showing how relational resources act as dynamic capabilities, enabling firms to reconfigure processes in volatile environments. For managers, the study underscores the strategic importance of cultivating trust-based relationships and fostering knowledge exchange both within and beyond organizational boundaries to enhance adaptability and responsiveness to market shifts.</p>
