Digital initiatives, systems innovation, information sharing are taken as independent variables and supply chain responsiveness as dependent variable which includes supplier network responsiveness, delivery and service quality.

The target respondents are managers who are involved in the supply chain operations of the organisation. After initial scrutiny, the valid questionnaires are 100 which are further analysed and interpreted using factor analysis whereby select questions are grouped as 15 factors. Further, correlation and regression analysis is carried out among the supply chain variables.
