Abstract: Supply chain digitalisation has great advantages. In spite of a large number of studies, there is a lack of literature to identify and address the key enablers to be considered for supply chain digitalisation. In this study, 13 key enablers for integration of supply chain through digitalisation in an electronic supply chain in Indian context are identified and shortlisted in consultation with the experts from industry and academia. Interpretive structural modelling has been used for understanding of the hierarchical and contextual influences among the identified key enablers for supply chain digitalisation. Results of the model indicate that prior to taking a decision on supply chain digitalisation, companies have to identify the key enablers and its impact on digitalisation process. Policy decision-makers could use the results of this study to identify the key enablers and their interrelationship for taking effective decision for supply chain digitalisation process.
