Abstract: Although firms are aware of the importance of implementing various strategies of supply chain resilience (SCRES) to mitigate and manage supply chain risks and disruptions, there are limited insights into the interrelationships among the strategies in affecting business performance. This study objectively reviews 135 articles related to the performance effects of SCRES through conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) and citation network analysis (CNA). Based on the results of the CNA, we identify citation network clusters of the articles with three main strategies of SCRES, namely, supply chain (SC) agility, SC risk management, and SC reengineering. A structured framework is developed to map the performance impact of SCRES strategies and the interrelationships between the two. Observing the common grounds and mutual citations among clusters, we propose research directions of the performance impact of SCRES based on the complex adaptive system (CAS) theory for advancing research on SCRES.
