Abstract

Undeniably a natural disaster (ND) that occurs in a country has not only the serious repercussions to business performance, but also interrelated world markets; consequently, there has been growing concerns on supply chain resilience and mitigation capabilities (Wright, 2013). The process of dealing with ND disruption can be divided into three phases: preparation, response and recovery (Ponomarov and Holcomb, 2009). This paper explores and identifies the capabilities to respond to ND due to flooding. Response capabilities play a significant role in reducing the severity of disruptions (Runyan, 2006), but the mainstream operations and supply chain literature has put more attention into the ability to recover after a disruption (Christopher and Peck, 2004; Datta et al., 2007; Sheffi & Rice, 2005). This paper addresses a crucial gap in the literature because very few empirical studies have explained how businesses effectively respond when they are disrupted by ND.
