The discussion hall No. (2) at the College of Administration and Economics – University of Mosul, witnessed on Wednesday (August 20, 2025), the defense of a Master’s thesis submitted by the student Mohammed Bashar Mohammed, entitled:
“The Role of Dynamic Capabilities of the Industrial Organization in Supporting Supply Chain Resilience.”
The study sought to construct an integrated conceptual framework that clarifies the concepts of dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring) and supply chain resilience (supply, product, volume, delivery, distribution, and information system flexibility). It also addressed diagnosing the extent to which the company under study possesses these dimensions, and analyzing the nature of the relationship and impact among them, with a focus on the most effective dimensions in enhancing operational resilience and adapting to market fluctuations.
The findings revealed a statistically significant correlation and impact between dynamic capabilities and supply chain resilience at both the overall and partial levels. The results also showed that the company’s possession of advanced dynamic capabilities had a clear contribution in supporting its ability to adapt to market changes, and to expand its scope in dealing with product and market diversity.
