Abstract

This study investigates how supply chain disruptions impact strategic resilience in Nigeria's consumer
goods sectors, focusing on three dimensions: supply chain orientation, risk management, and resource
configuration capabilities. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 233
employees across production, procurement, logistics, marketing, and warehousing departments of
Guinness Nigeria Plc in Benin City. Descriptive and inferential statistics, were employed for analysis.
Findings reveal that supply chain orientation and risk management significantly enhance strategic
resilience by improving integration, coordination, and proactive risk mitigation. However, resource
reconfiguration capabilities showed no significant impact, suggesting flexibility alone is insufficient
without broader strategic alignment. The study recommends strengthening supply chain collaboration,
visibility, and redundancy to bolster resilience. Additionally, firms should invest in robust risk
management frameworks, including regular assessments and contingency planning, to mitigate
disruptions effectively. These insights highlight the importance of holistic supply chain strategies in
Nigeria’s consumer goods sectors, emphasizing proactive measures over reactive resource adjustments.
Future research could explore sector-specific resilience drivers and the role of external factors in
shaping organizational adaptability.
