“…Thus, e-business and information technology are considered as the enablers of supply chain integrations. Despite the fact that, the level of adoption and the implementation of ebusiness technologies and level of technology have different impacts on the performance of supply chains (Dametew & Ebinger, 2017;Petersen et al, 2005). But their result doesn't show what extent and level of e-business technologies impacts on supply chain performances.…”

“…Despite this, the growth of basic metal and engineering industries in region's economies contributions are remaining limited. Because of this, the GDP contribution of the basic metal industry sector is much lower compared to other manufacturing sectors (Abtew, 2014;Dametew & Ebinger, 2017;GRIPS/JICA, 2016;MoI, 2013). Besides, the conventional manufacturing and management systems may be in a state of decline of the sectors.…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the current research practices and existing progress research published on supply chain management and supply chain integration in an attempt to provide a research agenda for future investigations. Mainly the secondary data analysis and methods employed for the investigations. Particularly a systematic literature review analysis from 115 papers published from 16 important journals in the supply chain, logistics, Industrial management & data systems, supply chain management: an international journal and operations management during the period 1997 to 2018 was employed. This paper has identified relevant supply chain integration research studies that have contributed to the development and growth of manufacturing industries performance and competitiveness to the SCI and SCM fields. The analysis of the relevant articles gaps and miss-concepts in the previous literature provides to reduce universality and insufficient ordinary view, confusion of supply chain integrations were investigated. The gaps and investigations were done based on their methodological porches, objectives, analysis and research finding. Mainly the gaps, miss concepts and challenges concepts in the previous literature were identified and grouped in

This study is to investigate and evaluate the performance of basic metal industries, so as to know performance gaps and developing further research themes for sector improvement and changes required. Through industrial survey 86 Ethiopian basic metal sectors and literature review, were studied. Though, the study mainly focused on raw material utilization, production capacity, innovation and Technological capability, product demand and supply, import-export process, job creation and labor force and supply chain systems performances used as performance dimension on this investigations. Since, the main aim of the study is to investigated the challenges and identify the gaps of the sector that needs for further investigation and policy measures to enhance efficient and competitive metal sectors. Since, this study design to evaluate how basic metal industries were performing in their objective, role, goals and identify the areas where the action, improvement and changes required. Based on the investigation, we find that, in some extent the basic metal performance is good. Even though, the combined effects of each performance dimension results lower performing sector. This lower performance occurred due to high cost of international market, problems forging currency, logistics and public infrastructure, warehouse problems, outdated technology, system are the main constraints of the sectors. As result of this performance the overall GDP contribution of the sector is infant and only recorded on 0.4% of the five light manufacturing sectors. Finally the further research directions and theme were investigated and proposed.

The main purpose of this paper is traces to investigate the drivers of supply chain evolution & revolution and their impacts on firm performance and competitiveness. Through field observation and questionnaire survey, a literature review was supported by an empirical study on supply chain evolution and revolution drivers, the impacts on firm performance and comparative advantages were included. The horizontal relation on the drivers of supply chain integrations was empirically investigated and tested. The primary data and field observation were collected from 21 Ethiopian basic metal industries and 91 respondents incorporated as a case company. Followed by the investigation and explored on how supply chain drivers impacts on firm performance and comparative advantage of manufacturing industries incorporated. While globalization, the digital revolution, social media throughout the society, innovation and new product developments are considered as the main drivers of supply chain evolution and revolutions. Commonly, this supply chain evolution and revolution drivers have a positive impact on firm performance and global competitiveness. Further, the result shows that depending on their type and supply chain scenario the drivers of supply chain evolution and revolution have both positive and negative impacts on firm performances and comparative advantages. Moreover paper investigated the relationship between supply chain evolution and the evolution drivers linkages o supply chain performance and comparative advantages, so that management will be able to pursue better supply chain strategies applicable directly to their business environment. Nevertheless, the study results provide the organization with innovative insights for, controlling adoption and implementation supply chain drivers in the firms.
