Subject of study. The article provides a thorough theoretical and methodological analysis of the concept of supply chain management (SCM) as a key tool for ensuring the effectiveness of modern entrepreneurial activity in the context of globalization, digitalization, and growing market instability. The key benefits of implementing the SCM concept are outlined, including reducing total costs, improving customer service, enhancing innovation, flexibility, and social and environmental responsibility of the business. The aim of the study. The article aims to identify key theoretical frameworks for interpreting the concept of «supply chain management» and to specify it in order to enhance the effectiveness of logistics operations of business entities. Research methods. The methodological basis of the study is a set of methods of scientific cognition, including logical, systemic and structural, terminological analysis and generalization, and others. Results of work. The study analyzes the evolution of scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “supply chain management” and summarizes the findings of leading foreign and domestic scientists. The main conceptual directions of understanding SCM are systematized: as the integration of logistics operations between chain participants; as a management philosophy and methodology; as a mechanism for building partnerships between key players; as a tool for forming and maximizing consumer value. It is shown that the absence of a single universal definition of SCM is due to the multidimensionality of this category and its interdisciplinary nature. Based on a critical analysis of existing definitions, the author proposes a definition of supply chain management as a strategic approach to coordinating, controlling, and improving the set of operations, resources, and interactions between all participants in the chain—from raw material suppliers to end consumers—with the aim of increasing productivity, minimizing costs, increasing consumer value, and ensuring long-term competitiveness.
