Abstract
High-reliability supply chains, while investing in resilience to reduce potential vulnerability, in the face of uncertainty and the resulting changes, are forced to take risks and apply innovation to develop future capabilities. Given the challenge of managing such a dual process in the realm of critical systems involved in safety and security threats, the present study, utilizing the concept of organizational ambidexterity, seeks to respond to the aforementioned challenge with the aim of designing a high-reliability resilient supply chain based on innovation with a dynamic capabilities approach, while studying the supply chains of companies in various iranian industries using the partial least squares structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM). The results of confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) indicate the success of measuring the identified dimensions, and the results of the analysis of quality criteria and model fit confirm the validity of the structure and its acceptable fit in relation to the empirical data. Referring to the results of hypothesis test based on confirming the indirect effect of innovation on supply chain high-reliability through the mediation of dynamic and operational capabilities of resilience, as well as the confirming results of generalizability test of the model, the research findings show that the efficiency and effectiveness of a high-reliability resilient supply chain is due to the significant contribution of improving and maintaining the integrity of dynamic and operational capabilities of resilience in convergence with the capabilities and main factors of high-reliability through the implementation of innovation at the exploitation and exploration levels using structural and contextual ambidexterity.
