Select two ArticlesLocate two peer-reviewed article (related to the ethics) published within the last 3 years in a peer-reviewed journal from the online library, then present an assessment comprising of a precise and critical evaluation.

This assignment has many benefits. First, it requires a search of indexing and abstracting databases from the online library to find an article that meets the specified criteria (must be related to ethics). It also emphasizes what a scholarly article is; to discern between scholarly and non-scholarly writing; to condense someone else’s lengthy argument into a concise report; to think critically about what has been read by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the research; and, thus, to become participants in the discussions regarding the topic at hand.
FYI: Wikipedia is not an acceptable resource for academic writing. Please use the university library for reference. Articles must be peer-reviewed.

Many SC companies attempt to adopt and implement new technologies to advance their operational efficiencies, reduce costs and increase profitability. However, many of them face significant challenges and often fail in these efforts. This assignment contains case studies of the processes and challenges involved.
The assignment is informed by your learning from the first assignment. Having developed a general supply chain digital transformation plan and reflected upon how to go about successfully adopting and implementing new SC technologies in assignment one, you are now required to examine two particular cases of supply chain technology adoption, develop a comprehensive analysis and produce your key findings. Your analysis should identify and examine the motivations, the processes, the outcomes and the various key influencing factors in the technology transformation.
You will develop your analysis based on 2 out of the six industry stakeholder interviews provided below. Once you have read and understood each of the interviews, use the following analysis template to present your analysis based on the different themes provided. Each interview analysis must be completed on a separate template so that you submit two separate analysis templates but in one (1) document.
For each of the themes, you must develop a summary detail (column 2) and identify quotes (column 3) to illustrate every point identified under the theme. For example, if there are 3 motivations highlighted in the interview, you should illustrate them with one quote each.
At the end, you need to develop a 400 Words Summary of Findings, and submit along with the two separate analysis templates, but all in one (1) file.
