| Abstract | Purpose - This study investigates the role of technology in enhancing the resilience of humanitarian and commercial supply chains during disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic and economic sanctions. Design/methodology/approach - A five-step review process for conducting a systematic literature review was adopted to frame future technological interests that depict the role of technology. Findings – The study identified key technological inventions, such as Industry 4.0 technologies, that help supply chains recover and adapt to crises. The study findings show that while technology offers significant benefits in mitigating disruptions, a gap remains between technological advancements and practical performance, particularly in humanitarian contexts. Humanitarian supply chains require technology that provides quality information sharing and collaborative decision-making capabilities for reactive approaches. Most literature prioritizes large and complex data processing and transactions, cyber security, hybridized systems, visibility, transparency, interconnection, responsiveness, and collaborative technological features that lead to a resilient supply chain and the ability to respond to future crises. Limitations - This study explores the role of technology in building resilient supply chain systems during disruptions, utilizing a time-bound approach for efficient research and comprehensive literature analysis. Practical implication – Understanding the role of technologies in logistics and supply chain activities helps evaluate and select various technologies and technological features to overcome the impact of disruptive events or shocks on supply chains. Theoretical implication – Shaping, expanding, and forecasting the technological requirements for supply chain systems provides the conceptual foundation for developing resilient supply chains. Originality – The new insights from this study demonstrate how the technology was used across |
