950The leadership of Party organizations is a unique advantage of Chinese enterprises, forming a modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics. Do China’s unique Party organizations at all levels play a unique role in enhancing the supply chain resilience of enterprises?
Using the supply chain with horizontal and vertical connections as carriers, this paper proposes the concept of Party Building Ecosphere and explores how Party Building Ecosphere enhances supply chain resilience through unique information channels. It is found that Party building constitutes ecological communities through both vertical and horizontal dimensions. The vertical association between superior and subordinate Party organizations can enhance supply chain resilience through unique channels for policy information transmission; the horizontal association of Party organizations between enterprises enhances supply chain resilience through non-public information transmission and technological information spillover channels. The above-mentioned path of Party Building Ecosphere driven by public transformation has been validated through comparative analysis of samples with different property rights, social network centrality, and supply chain locations. Party Building Ecosphere based on state-owned enterprises and enterprises with higher social network centrality have a stronger effect on enhancing the supply chain resilience of upstream and downstream enterprises, playing an “altruistic” role; while Party Building Ecosphere based on non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises with lower social network centrality have a stronger effect on enhancing their own supply chain resilience, playing a “selfish” role. The role of Party Building Ecosphere in enhancing the supply chain resilience of upstream and downstream enterprises is mainly focused on enterprises located in the middle of the supply chain.
The possible contributions of this paper are as follows: First, it proposes the concept of Party Building Ecosphere, expanding the literature on Party organization participation in governance from a single Party organization within the enterprise to a Party organization network. Second, it reveals the unique information transmission mechanism of the role of Party organizations in corporate governance, and extends the economic impact of the multi-level structure of Party organizations to supply chain resilience, demonstrating the multi-dimensional positive effect of Party Building Ecosphere on enterprise development. Third, it extends the influencing factors of supply chain resilience to China’s characteristic corporate governance system, which helps to promote in-depth research on the recovery and development of supply chains after crisis shocks. This paper demonstrates the importance of Party Building Ecosphere with Chinese characteristics for supply chain resilience, uncovers a corner of the veil of modern enterprise system operation mode with Chinese characteristics, and provides Chinese experience on how to play the role of the government in improving supply chain resilience.
