Abstract: This study explores the relationships between intellectual capital, supply chain agility, collaborative knowledge creation, and corporate sustainability during unprecedented crises such as the COVID-19 epidemic. Data were collected from food and beverages firms and analyzed using Smart-Partial Least Squares (Smart-PLS) structural equation modeling software. The sample consisted of 289 managers, directors, and heads of department. The results reveal that intellectual capital significantly impacts supply chain agility, collaborative knowledge creation, and corporate sustainability. Furthermore, the findings confirm that collaborative knowledge creation and supply chain agility significantly impact corporate sustainability during the COVID-19 crises. This study contributes to the literature on intellectual capital, dynamic capabilities, supply chain management, and knowledge management, and the role of these capabilities in preserving corporate sustainability during unprecedented crises.
