Abstract: The national economy’s steady flow can be ensured by strengthening supply chain resilience, and one of the main factors influencing supply chain resilience is business digital transformation. This study examines whether business digital transformation affects supply chain resilience using the panel data of Chinese listed manufacturing companies from 2012 to 2022. The findings indicate that supply chain resilience could be greatly enhanced by the digital transformation of manufacturing firms. The mediation mechanism test results show that supply chain integration plays a partial mediating role in the positive impact of enterprise digital transformation on supply chain resilience, and enterprises can promote digital transformation and enhance supply chain resilience through this mechanism of supply chain integration. The moderating effect test results show that both environmental uncertainty and enterprise risk-taking level play a positive moderating role in the relationship between digital transformation and supply chain resilience. This study can provide ideas and lessons for industrial supply chain management within the age of digitization.
