ABSTRACT: In order to expand the understanding of influencing factors of emergency supply chain digitalization, the focus of this research is placed on identifying these factors from the perspective of sustainable development. A comprehensive analysis is conducted across six dimensions—policy, society, economy, technology, organization, and security—to summarize the relevant influencing factors. Then, an Analytic Network Process model is constructed, and the model is solved using SuperDecisions software. Finally, relevant policy recommendations are proposed from the six dimensions, providing new insights into the identification of influencing factors regarding emergency supply chain digitalization from the viewpoint of sustainable development. Research findings indicate that technology and economy are the key factors influencing emergency supply chain digitalization. Secondly, innovation capability, responsiveness, resource investment, and IT level have significant impacts on emergency supply chain digitalization. Thirdly, emergency supply chain digitalization involves complex interactions across multiple dimensions, including policy, society, economy, technology, organization, and security. Therefore, future efforts should emphasize the coordinated development across these dimensions.
