Executive Summary
With the quick spread of internet connectivity to even the remotest of the villages in the world, information technology is fast becoming part of many human activities. Since the main objective of every business venture is to minimize costs and maximize returns, any device or process that improves its efficiency is highly welcomed. The purpose of this research study will be to utilize a mixed methods approach using literature-based data and expert interviews to analyze how the adoption of e-SCM influence the management of organizations. The aim of this research study is to explore the concept of e-SCM and the implications of its adoption in business, in terms of sustainability and competitiveness, for companies that deal with fast moving consumer goods. There are limited research studies on the supply chain management that explore human talent management and the integration of information technology into the supply chain to enhance efficiency in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industries.
The e-SCM concept involves the incorporation of information technology into the SCM to improve the relationships among partners in the supply chain. Landford (2004) revealed that the internet boosts the SCM by availing real-time data about the state and nature of goods and services at various stages in the supply chain. Some of the benefits and opportunities presented by the adoption of e-SCM include enhanced outsourcing, improved operations, improved customer equity, higher profit margins due to improved efficiency, the generation of high-quality products, reduced competitive pressure, increased significance of e-commerce, and boosts globalization. The adoption of e-SCM has some challenges such as high cost of acquiring and operating it, skilled personnel, cybersecurity issues and vulnerability to imitation and replication by rivals hence reducing its ability to give a company competitive leverage.
