Description:
This empirical research investigates three supply chain transformation projects at three Sri Lankan subsidiaries of Multi-National Corporations (MNCs). The research builds on extant literature in both Supply Chain Management as well as Project Management to identify how the principles of both these increasingly important fields of management could be used in cohesion to achieve corporate objectives. Hence, this research seeks to clarify how applications from project management aid production supply chain transformations. In addition, this research builds on the existing knowledge base of the newly shaping study area known as “Supply Chain Project Management” by being a pioneering empirical study in the field, not only in Sri Lanka, but globally as well.
