ABSTRACT
Business imperatives are changing for every industry across the globe. The focus is on transforming supply chain by improving its performance and efficiency. In today's dynamic world Internet of Things (IoT) is significantly contributing by the use of connected devices. IoT facilitates with real time information using automated and intelligent seamless processes in the supply chain. The objective of this study is to understand the benefits and challenges of integrating IoT in supply chain. The research has done an extensive literature review to explore the role of IoT as an enabler for end to end supply chain. Technology cannot be functional without the intervention of channel partners. Therefore, the paper tries to explore and develop an integrated framework to link IoT with SCM and further attempts to see its implication on HR Management. Limited research has assessed the inter linkages between SCM performance and HR Management because of the intervention of technology, especially IoT. The researcher's anticipate that finding of this paper will be practical and will be beneficial for researchers, academicians as well as practitioners. The research would certainly help practicing managers to comprehend the significance and role of IoT in gaining SCM effectiveness by effective HR Management. The study would also broaden the understanding of interdisciplinary approach at the academic level. This transformation can be driven by the perception of motivated individuals and channel partners in end to end supply chain. Satisfied HR at individual and channel level is ultimate and vital goal of every supply chain.
