The root cause of the problems plaguing many supply chains is a mismatch between the supply chain strategy and the business strategy. The purpose of this article is firstly to examine supply chain management challenges with specific reference to the South African automotive industry and secondly to suggest a framework to help supply chain managers choose their supply chain strategies. The article is based on a theoretical analytical review of related literature on supply chain strategies. Based on the review of literature, the article articulates that supply chain challenges in the South African automotive industry stem from the external environment, the customers, competition and the automotive industry. The article also contends that the challenges in the supply chain are caused by a mismatch in the application of supply chain strategies. The article concludes by suggesting a framework for chosen supply chain strategies and endeavours to contribute to the debate on differentiating supply chain strategies.

Purpose –this paper aims to investigate the effects of different dimensions of supply chain management practices (SCMP) on supply chain performance efficiency (SCPE) in the industrial sector in the Sudan. Design/methodology/approach – The study employed the quantitative method where convenience sampling and self-administrated survey questionnaires were sent to 110 manufacturing companies in Sudan. Findings – The empirical results indicate that three of the five dimensions of SCMP had a significant positive effect on supply chain performance efficiency. Moreover, a new dimension was developed in supply chain management practices. Research limitations/implications – This study focuses only on the manufacturing sector. Also the data were only collected from single respondents in an organization. However, being the first study to explore the dimensions of SCMP and how those dimensions relate to supply chain performance efficiency, the study shapes the pathway for future research. Practical implications – The results lighted to SCM practitioners and policy makers on the importance of SCMP to increase the performance of manufacturing industry in terms of supply chain performance efficiency. Originality/value – This study developed framework based on existing theoretical base and employs a new approach to empirically examine the relationship between two important factors, the SCMP and supply chain performance efficiency.

The purpose of this thesis is to deepen the understanding of how disruptive technologies impact upon supply chain complexity. While supply chain complexity has been regarded to have substantially increased in recent decades, it is unclear whether the emergence of technologies related to the
