The study follows a deductive approach by formulating hypotheses based on existing theories
and testing them with collected data, moving from general theories to specific observations.
One of the result from the study was the positive relationship between BDPA assimilation
(BDPAASM) and supply chain performance (SCP). This implies that as organizations
successfully integrate BDPA into their processes and operations, they experience improvements
in their supply chain performance. The managerial implication here is that organizations should
invest in BDPA assimilation efforts, as it can lead to enhanced supply chain efficiency, cost
reduction, better risk management, and improved customer service. BDPA can provide valuable
insights and real-time information that can be leveraged to optimize supply chain processes,
leading to competitive advantages in the market.
