Abstract
Companies adopt strategies to assert their competitive advantage and meet the demands and expectations of their various stakeholders. It is recognized that Supply Chain Management plays an essential role in establishing this competitiveness and more particularly when information and communication technologies are implemented. We aim to explore how a business model reflects the contribution of this eSupply Chain Management to the strategic objectives of companies. Based on a literature review, we propose a conceptual framework highlighting the relationships between these three constructs.
Highlights
If values, vision and mission are essential elements to consider in the management of companies, it is at the level of strategy, explicit or implicit, deliberate or emerging, that the advantages vis-à-vis the competition find their source [1] [2] [3] [4]

We propose the conceptual framework illustrated in Figure 1 by tracing the eSupply Chain Management (eSCM) components on the nine dimensions proposed by Osterwalder et al [20]
Summary
Vision and mission are essential elements to consider in the management of companies, it is at the level of strategy, explicit or implicit, deliberate or emerging, that the advantages vis-à-vis the competition find their source [1] [2] [3] [4]. Companies use various digital approaches and solutions to be part of this inevitable trend This push of digitalization, among others, has brought to light the notion of business model [7] that entrepreneurs will seek to design in order to better adopt digital in the development of their offer, the segmentation of their client portfolio and the determination of their channels of distribution. Likewise, such a business model would enable decision-makers to define their schemes for the profits to be generated while optimizing the resources to be deployed and by mobilizing the production factors to be implemented. We aim to explore these three concepts to propose a conceptual framework capable of illustrating the links through which they interact in the decision-making process within companies
