Integrating Bhagavad Gita Principles with Modern Supply Chain Management: A Framework for Ethical and Resilient Operations

Abstract: This paper explores the integration of Bhagavad Gita principles with modern supply chain management (SCM) practices to propose a values-driven framework for resilient, ethical, and sustainable operations. Using a conceptual methodology supported by in-depth case studies of global corporations such as Toyota, Unilever, Patagonia, Apple, and IKEA, this study identifies philosophical insights that align with key supply chain functions. The findings demonstrate that incorporating ancient Indian wisdom can enhance decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and long-term value creation in global SCM.
