This study investigates the role of supply chain risk management (SCRM) in mitigating the effects of disruptions impacts on supply chain resilience and robustness in the context of COVID-19 outbreak. Using structural equation modeling on a survey data from 470 French firms, the results confirm the basic tenets of resource-based view and organizational information processing theories regarding the combination of dynamic resources to face disruptions’ uncertainty. Furthermore, the findings reveal the mediating role of SCRM practices and the prominent role they play in fostering supply chain resilience and robustness. Overall, by providing empirical assessment of a comprehensive SCRM framework, this research contributes to the extant literature and suggests further avenues for research.
