This qualitative research explores the impact of digital transformation on supply chain collaboration, delving into its implications for organizational dynamics, processes, and outcomes. Through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in diverse industries, insights are gathered into how digital technologies reshape collaboration within supply chains. Findings reveal a shift towards greater connectivity, visibility, and agility enabled by digital platforms and ecosystems, fostering innovation and value creation. However, challenges such as data security, organizational silos, and trust issues hinder the realization of collaborative potential. The study underscores the importance of embracing digital technologies, fostering a collaborative culture, and prioritizing trust and transparency to unlock the full benefits of digital collaboration. Moving forward, future research should focus on exploring evolving dynamics, identifying best practices, and developing frameworks for effective implementation in diverse organizational contexts. By leveraging digital transformation, organizations can enhance their supply chain capabilities, strengthen competitiveness, and drive sustainable growth in an interconnected, digitalized world.
