Exploratory research on digitalization transformation practices within supply chain management context in developing countries specifically Egypt in the MENA region

With no doubt, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence applications in customer service reduces the time to market. Nevertheless, the question remains whether or not its adoption in production and logistics will transform the supply chain into a more agile one in developing countries context. Manufa...
