    Supply Chain Visibility, Supply Chain Collaboration and Supply Chain Performance in Ugandan Pharmacies during COVID-19.
    (2023) Kizubo, Geofrey
    This study was guided by the following objectives: to assess the relationship between supply chain visibility and supply chain performance, to assess the predictive power of the model on supply chain performance, and to assess the relationship between supply chain collaboration and supply chain performance, a cross-sectional design was used in the study with a population of 298 pharmaceutical companies in Kampala and a sample size of 168 pharmacies was considered. However, only 145 responses were obtained and data were analyzed using SPSS with a focus on descriptive statistics. Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis were run. The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that there are positive and significant relationships between each of the predictor variables on supply chain performance. The regression analysis findings further confirmed that supply chain visibility and supply chain collaboration are significant predictors of supply chain performance. However, supply chain visibility proved to be the most influential predictor variable demonstrated by the highest beta values in reference to the tables in chapter 4. A conclusion was drawn that all the predictor variables of the study are prerequisites of supply chain performance through different levels. The findings raise implications that led to recommendations from which managers of pharmaceutical companies develop plans to mitigate supply chain disruptions and hence improved supply chain performance.
