Abstract: Competing in today's environment is to compete between supply chains. Organizations strive for lower costs and respond rapidly to changes in the market. E-supply chain is one of the current approaches for achieving competitive advantages. Pantaet al., developed a framework of evaluating e-supply chain implementation strategies for a free market economy with two factors.24However, implementing e-supply chains in a transitional economy is subject to additional constraints in comparison with a free market economy. Information asymmetry and government influence are the two distinguished factors on the e-supply chain implementation strategies in transitional economy. This paper extends the framework of e-supply chain implementation strategies to include the above two factors. This new framework divides the whole problem space into seven cases. An implementation strategy is proposed for each case.
