Abstract

This paper examines the enablers, barriers and opportunities of digital supply chain management (DSCM) in manufacturing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam fromexpert’s perspective. The study is a foundational effort to contribute to the establishment of new digital management era in many emerging economies. Applying a systematic literature review (SLR) of relevant studies and a qualitative data methodology this research also aims to explore the factors affecting technology adoption in supplychain management from managerial perspective of Vietnamese manufacturing SMEs. Findings of the research reveal that the enablers and barriers are classified into four main dimensions which are Organisational, Technological, Strategic and Legal –Ethical issues. In addition, our findings also reveal that external factors deeply influence the adoption intention in Vietnamese manufacturing SMEs. The development of digital SCM could be different in each case according to companies’ characteristics and business environment. Our study therefore adds to the limited research in the domain of digital technology adoption in SMEs in developing country context.

Abstract

The 2016 Brexit Referendum in the UK resulted in a withdrawal from the EU that has brought a lot of uncertainty to the supply chains (SC) in the manufacturing sector. The manufacturing sector that operates in a highly integrated EU market and relies on a significant number of EU workers is facing sharp changes in the SC. To improve resilience to the SC risks caused by Brexit, supply chain risk management (SCRM) can play a crucial role in adopting effective strategies. Although the literature highlights both, advantages and disadvantages of Brexit, this study focuses on the potential consequences on the SC. Through a systematic literature review approach, the research aimed to analyse Brexit impact on SCRM in the manufacturing sector in the UK. The research reveals that the manufacturing sector is not resilient to a barrier to trade risk and suspending SCRM decisions in the latest sequence of political events didn’t help to improve resilience. Findings emphasize the disadvantage of stockpiling due to increased cost and reveal that reorienting SC to a domestic market from the EU could mitigate SC risks more effectively than reorienting to non-EU countries. Research also outlines specific areas where SCM should be aware such as foreign direct investment (FDI) from non-EU countries and increased rates of pay
