Abstract
Digital technologies are projected to transform many work domains and industries including
the retail supply chain. Some of the benefits of adopting digital technologies are increased
levels of efficiency, cost-saving understanding of production issues and improved customer
experience. This study is driven by the need to understand the influential variables that affect
the use of digital technologies in the retail supply chain, specifically to tackle the problem of
food waste. The study follows the technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework
to develop an alternative conceptual framework, through the examination of thirteen
contextual factors.
