Al-Swidi, A. K., Al-Hakimi, M. A., Gelaidan, H. M., Al Haifi, M. M., & Ahmed, A. A. (2025). Harnessing Digital Technologies in Circular Supply Chains: The role of Technological Opportunism Capability and Technological Turbulence. Sustainable Futures, 100492.  

Summary

This study examines the role of digital technologies (DTs) in enhancing circular supply chain capability (CSCC), with technological opportunism capability (TOC) as an enabler and technological turbulence (TT) as a moderator. Using data from 120 Indian automotive firms, the study finds that DTs significantly improve CSCC, while TOC indirectly enhances CSCC through DT adoption. TT strengthens the impact of TOC on DT adoption, suggesting that firms in dynamic environments benefit more from technological opportunism.

The research extends Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) by showing how DTs mediate the TOC-CSCC relationship. Managerial implications include investing in DTs, developing TOC for better technology adoption, and understanding TT’s role in decision-making. Policymakers are urged to support digital transformation through incentives and infrastructure.
