A Study On The Impact Of E-SCM On Financial Performance Of Smes In The Mandideep Industrial Area

Abstract

In the Mandideep Industrial Area near Bhopal, India, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use electronic supply chain management (e-SCM) to improve their competitive edge within the quickly developing industrial environment. This research examines the influence of e-SCM adoption on the financial performance of randomly selected companies. The study uses a mixed method approach to integrate quantitative data from financial reports with qualitative findings from surveys and interviews to study the adoption level of e-SCM and its correlation with key financial indicators such as return on investment (ROI), profit margin, revenue growth and cost efficiency. Statistical tools such as correlation coefficients and regression analysis quantify the relationship between e-SCM integration and financial results. The preliminary results indicate a significant positive correlation that robust e-SCM systems can contribute to improving the profitability and operational efficiency of SMEs. This study aims to provide valuable insight into the strategic advantages of e-SCM in improving financial performance in emerging markets.
