I. INTRODUCTION
The organizations increasingly rely on information technology (IT) to improve the supply chain process. Yet, past evidence
suggests that the investment in IT per se does not guarantee enhanced organizational performance [1]. Recent developments in
the field of communications and information technology are indeed revolutionary in nature. Information and knowledge are
expanding in quality and accessibility. In many fields’ future decision -makers will be presented with unprecedented new tools
for development [2]. Fortunately, a new generation of information and telecommunications technology provides the foundation
for resilient new organizational forms that would have not been feasible only a decade ago [3].
