Abstract
This paper looks at the factors influencing supply chain management in the country of Qatar. In today's fast moving and globalized economies, it has become imperative for organizations to have strategic and comprehensively effective management tools at their disposal. A sustainable supply chain management system covers all functional areas of management, right from procurement of raw materials, to its production, it involves the marketing and promotional activities of the company as well as ensuring effective and efficient delivery of the finished product (or service) to the end user.
Qatar may be one of the smallest countries in the Gulf area. However, it is one of the fastest growing. Qatar is looking to move away from its reliance on hydrocarbon and become a knowledge based economy. It has recently been allotted to organize the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which is a massive achievement for this small nation. However, the government and other companies are having logistical problems in organizing this Global Event.
The paper takes a look at the problems in the supply chain system of Qatari companies. Research is based on both primary as well as secondary sources. Secondary sources have given us a strong albeit a limited view of the factors influencing supply chain management in Qatar. However, the primary research has revealed specificlimitations and provided a much clearer picture. The paper attempts to derive suitable conclusions based on the research and offer relevant recommendations based on the same.
