Abstract

Purpose:

Findings:
The findings demonstrate that organizational mindfulness is key to enabling resilient humanitarian relief supply chains, as opposed to just big data analytics.

Originality/value:
This is the first study to examine organizational mindfulness and big data analytics in the context of humanitarian relief supply chains.
