Empirical Analysis for Success Factors in Ubiquitous Supply Chain Management in the Case of Uk Companies

This study examines affecting factors on a successful implementation of the ubiquitous supply chain management system (USCMS) perceived by industry managers from UK companies. Upon the thorough review of existing literature on both ubiquitous computing and supply management systems, the current study classified two construct groups for those success factors and employed principle component factor analysis technique and identifies thirteen unique and crucial factors relating to perceived benefits of the USCMS. A managerial success factor construct includes seven relevant factors and a technical factor construct has six success factors. This finding expects to lead a systematic causal model to realize the benefits of USCM implementation based upon these factors suggested.
