Abstract: The digital supply chain is a reality since markets are demanding efficiency, agility, and flexibility for modern supply chains. Digitalization can have a major impact on the supply chain. The aim of the study is to deepen the knowledge and understanding of the digitalization of the supply chain. It explores executives' attitudes towards the use of trends and technologies in supply chain. It identifies the factors that affect executives' attitudes towards those trends and technologies, and it classifies them into groups according to their similar behaviour patterns and profiles each group of respondents according to the characteristics of their companies. The main factors are mobility, human factors, and pricing. Characteristics such as type of company, year of establishment, number of employees, technological infrastructure have an impact on executives' behaviour. The survey revealed a few noteworthy findings that may influence companies for resource reallocation and strategically shift resources to create more value and deliver higher returns to shareholders.
