“…As indicated before researchers have tried to understand the broad construct of supply chain management. For instance, some studies link SCM enablers such as information technology, to improved organizational performance (Boubekri, 2001;Marien, 2000;Motwani, Madan, & Gunasekaran, 2000). In addition, some consider only specific aspects such as marketing, logistics and firm culture as important to overall supply chain success (Mello & Stank, 2005;Mentzer et al, 2004;Min & Mentzer, 2000;Svensson, 2002).…”

Evidence has shown that organizations seldom achieve the competitive advantage offered by supply chain management technique. This may be attributed to the fact that current methodologies for analyzing supply chains are not sufficiently comprehensive, particularly when it comes to understanding the complexities of SCM and organization performance in an unified context. In addition, researchers have not comprehensively answered key questions such as what are the linkages between different dimensions of SCM and what are the linkages between the underlying dimensions of SCM and SCM performance. Gap also exists in terms of understanding of the relationship between SCM performance measures and organizational performance measures. The study seeks to address these issues. Based on a comprehensive literature review, a theoretical framework and propositions are derived. In culmination, the description for possible findings and implications of the study for managers is considered. Overall, we argue that increased interaction between important constituents of supply chain management will enhance the organization's ability to meet desired goals. Finally, directions for future research are also presented.

“…Companies need to invest large amount of money for redesigning internal organizational and technical processes, changing traditional and fundamental product distribution channels and customer service procedure and training staff to achieve IT-enabled supply chain (Motwani et al, 2000). The following are some of the problems often cited in the literature both by the researchers and practitioners when developing an IT-integrated SCM: lack of integration between IT and business model, lack of proper strategic planning, poor IT infrastructure, insufficient application of IT in virtual enterprise, and inadequate implementation knowledge of IT in SCM.…”

Abstract:This study was conducted to find out the effect of Information Systems on Upstream Supply Chain Management. It determined the effect of ERO on Upstream Supply Chain Management and the effect of EDI on Upstream Supply Chain Management among supermarkets within Nakuru town. This study involved all the 9 supermarkets in Nakuru town. The primary data on information systems, enterprise resource planning and upstream supply chain management was collected using structured questionnaires with research items on each of the variables. Collected data was analyzed using a regression analysis to establish the effect of Enterprise Resource Planning and Electronic Data Interchange on Upstream Supply Chain Management. The results of the study will be shown using tables. The study findings revealed that ERP has statistically insignificant effect on Upstream Supply Chain Management while EDI has significant positive effect on Upstream Supply Chain.
