Abstract

This paper explores the critical role of supply chain management (SCM) in transforming mechanistic business models to adapt to the evolving business landscape. It emphasises the importance of this transformation for fostering a more adaptive and innovative organisational culture. SCM serves as a catalyst for change by promoting agility, collaboration and responsiveness throughout the organisation. By integrating SCM principles into strategic decision-making processes, organisations can break away from rigid structures and embrace flexibility and adaptability, as well as common ethical goals. This shift in approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also shapes organisational culture, fostering traits such as innovation, risk taking and customercentricity. Through effective SCM practices, organisations can create a culture that values continuous improvement, embraces change and prioritises customer satisfaction. Ultimately, the paper highlights how leveraging supply chain management as a driver of cultural transformation empowers organisations to thrive in a dynamic and uncertain future, through an inclusive leadership.
