Abstract

The digital transformation of supply chain management represents one of the most significant paradigm shifts in contemporary business operations. This paper examines the comprehensive impact of digital technologies on supply chain management from both commerce and management perspectives. The research analyzes the integration of emerging technologies including Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data analytics in supply chain processes. Through systematic analysis of current literature and industry practices, this study identifies key drivers, challenges, and opportunities associated with digital supply chain transformation. The findings reveal that organizations implementing comprehensive digital supply chain strategies demonstrate improved operational efficiency, enhanced visibility, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction. However, significant challenges persist in areas of cybersecurity, data integration, organizational change management, and technology adoption costs. The paper provides strategic recommendations for organizations seeking to navigate the digital transformation journey effectively. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital supply chain management and offers practical insights for both academic researchers and industry practitioners.
