Supply Chain Management implementations in Italian SMEs. A proposed taxonomyAndrea Payaro
Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become an integral part of strategy for all organisations irrespective of their size and sector in the present globalised and networked economy. This study is on analysing implementation of SCM and its effectiveness in a sample of 24 Italian Small and Medium Enterprises. Companies manufacture goods and belong to different sectors. The level of implementation of SCM in a small and medium-sized company has fundamental performance flexibility and reduce costs. The results of the analysis and implementation of SCM by several small-sized companies in Italy as well as the result of this work lead to companies achieving greater competitiveness in their particular market.
The aim of this paper is to develop a comprehensive taxonomy of supply chain management practices to provide better understanding of the complex relationship between the external and internal factors and SCM operational practices. Typology and/or taxonomy play a key role in the development of social science theories. The current taxonomies focus on a single or limited component of the supply chain. Furthermore, they have not been tested using different sample compositions and contexts, yet replication is a prerequisite for developing robust concepts and theories. This paper empirically replicates one such taxonomy extending the original study by (a) developing broad (containing the key components of supply chain) taxonomy and (b) broadening the sample by including a wider range of sectors and organisational size.
The research identifies a taxonomy that puts in evidence some common applications in a diagram with these two axes:
1) Drivers to SC integration;
2) Perceived switching costs.
This paper contributes to both the supply chain management literature and literature in the area of SMEs by identifying some important research areas which are linked to both fields. This paper helps both academics and managers to gain a better understanding of the complexity of supply chain management in manufacturing companies.

Sales agents
State
6. •Suppliers- entities which provide the necessary raw materials, equipment and services to a company
•Customers- domestic or foreign companies or households which buy the company’s products or use its services
Today there is a strong customer orientation
B2B (Business to Business), B2C (Business to Consumer)
7. Competitors- organizations that target the same customers
Direct competition- between products which perform the same function
Indirect competition- between products which are close substitutes
•Credit institutions- institutions (in general banks) which provide external capital to the company (to finance its current activity, to make investments etc.)
8. •Business consultants and other business partners- third parties which support/ assist the management of the company in order to reach its business goals
Outsourcing of subsidiary activities
Audit
•State- sets the legal framework for the activity
of the company
•Public authorities - the institutions of the state with which the company communicates, such as Ministries, labor office, tax office etc.
