The impact of knowledge management's practices on supply chain performance of the dairy sector in Central Punjab: a mediating role of decentralization

In this study an attempt has been made to solve a problematic phenomenon regarding how a decentralised environment mediates the effect on supply chain performance (SCP)–by taking various dimensions of knowledge management (KM)–specifically in the dairy sector of Lahore, Pakistan. This study also exp...

Decentralisation has a mediating role which influences the relationship between KM practices and SCP in the dairy sector of Pakistan.
