Abstract: In today’s competitive and globalized business environment, organizations increasingly rely on effective supply chain strategies to enhance performance, reduce costs, and sustain competitive advantage. Supply chain management is no longer an operational afterthought but a strategic function that must be closely aligned with overall business strategy. This paper examines the relationship between business strategy and supply chain strategy, defines key concepts, and highlights the importance of strategic alignment between the two. It further outlines techniques for developing and executing an effective supply chain strategy and discusses how this alignment enables organizations to achieve operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and long-term profitability. The study emphasizes that companies perform best when supply chain capabilities are intentionally designed to support and reinforce executive-level business objectives.
