Impact of Disruptive Innovations on Supply Chain Coordination, Robustness, and Logistics Performance: A Study of Korean Automotive Industry

Disruptive innovation helps develop new trends, including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and block chain technology, which influence supply chain management. This research proposes a conceptual framework to assess the relationship between cause and effect of the concept of disruptive innovation, supply chain coordination, supply chain robustness, and the variable of logistics performance within the Korean automotive sector. Through a comprehensive analysis of the literature and theoretical reasoning, this study confirms that: 1) disruptive innovation has a positive relationship with supply chain coordination, which helps achieve coordinated sharing of real-time information in various organizations; 2) disruptive innovation has a positive relationship with supply chain robustness, which helps in anticipation and response to disruption; 3) supply chain coordination has a positive relationship with logistics performance, which helps in efficiency and cost reduction; and 4) supply chain robustness has a positive relationship with logistics performance, which helps ensure the continuum without any barriers. The findings of the research have wide perspectives. However, the research has several limitations, such as focusing on the Korean automotive sector; future studies should empirically validate the dynamic concept of disruption across various sectors.
