Abstract: AbstractAs technologies become more open and easily applied, they will be used extensively as they promise competitive advantage through more efficient and effective management of supply chain processes. At the same time, however, they represent a potential trap for organizations thinking that they will supplant the need for effective strategy formulation, appropriate management of resources, or effective change and knowledge management systems. The management of the supply chain will be facilitated by more sophisticated technologies, but the organizations that are likely to benefit most will still be those able to choose, implement, and manage technologies appropriate to the requirements of their trading partner networks. A set of propositions and a framework explaining the nature of these relationships is presented.
