IMPACT OF LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND SCM POLICIES ON SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION: ROLE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the Legal Framework and SCM policies governing supply chain collaboration, as well as the function of Information Technology as a mediator. The collection of direct data from respondents is a fundamental component of research methodology. Using a self-administered questionnaire from prior research and a Google form, the initial data was collected. data collected. Pakistani respondents from Sindh manufacturing firms. We have employed convenience sampling and cross-sectional methodology due to a variety of constraints, including time, location, and financial constraints. The effect of the legal framework on supply chain collaboration in manufacturing firms in Sindh, Pakistan. The findings demonstrated that direct effect have a significant and positive beta. The full mediation effect of information technology as a mediator between legal framework planning and supply chain collaboration in Sindh, Pakistan, manufacturing firms is demonstrated. In addition, the effect of SCM policies on supply chain collaboration in manufacturing firms in Sindh, Pakistan. The findings revealed that beta values for the direct effect are positive and significant. The full effect of information technology as a mediator between SCM policies and supply chain collaboration in manufacturing firms in Sindh, Pakistan, is demonstrated. The findings of this study highlight the importance of a supportive legal framework and efficient supply chain management policies to facilitate supply chain collaboration. In addition, it highlights the essential role that information technology plays in facilitating and enhancing supply chain partner collaboration.
