Influencing factors and model construction of China's steel supply chain elasticity

Abstract

This TFM first clarifies the concept and characteristics of steel supply chain elasticity. From the perspective of elasticity capabilities, it identifies the specific influencing factors of steel supply chain elasticity in the dimensions of absorptive capacity, adaptability, and recovery capacity. Next, based on the analysis of the impact mechanisms of the influencing factors and their combinations on steel supply chain elasticity in each dimension, research hypotheses are proposed, and theoretical models are constructed. Then, using survey data, in-depth insights into the actual impact patterns and specific degrees of influence of each influencing factor and factor combination on steel supply chain elasticity are revealed through hierarchical regression analysis.
