Abstract: Technology has revolutionized business operations around the world. There is an ever-increasing trend to digitize business operations around the world. It is not uncommon to see the application of Big Data Analytics (BDA) throughout a vast range of industries and organizations in today's extremely competitive world. However, BDA adoption in supply chain (SC) is less accepted and research in this area remains at its infancy. BDA is extremely useful throughout supply chain functions like manufacturing, distribution, procurement, and marketing. However, a sizable portion of sectors continues to hold divergent opinions regarding big data's alleged benefits. Moreover, there is not a lot of empirical studies that have been published that addresses the adoption of such a tool or better yet, that investigates what factors affect the decision to adopt BDA in supply chain management (SCM). This study aims to develop and extend technology acceptance model (TAM) that considers the critical factors that may affect BDA adoption in SCM by critically analyzing the existing literature. Upon reviewing the literature, it became evident that the main categories of factors that have been thoroughly examined and recognized to be crucial in comprehending BDA adoption and acceptability in SCM are the organizational- and individual-related factors, such as top management and computer self-efficacy.
