The impact of the supply chain practices on competitive advantage of pharmaceutical industries

Abstract

Our research aims to ascertain the impact of the supply chain on competitive advantage within the pharmaceutical sector. Employing a quantitative approach, we distributed a questionnaire among various pharmaceutical companies operating in Algeria, yielding a total of 100 responses. The outcomes, derived from simple and multiple regression tests, alongside a correlation analysis, indicate that supply chain practices, including customer relationship, information sharing, flexibility and responsiveness, cooperation and collaboration, strategic supplier partnerships, all exhibit a positive and significant influence on competitve advantage.
