Ethics and Competitiveness in the Poultry Industry of Pakistan

Abstract

The following research aims at understanding the underlying factors that affect the ethics in supply chain management, in particular the poultry industry of Pakistan, and are either direct or indirect contributors to it. As the research area is relatively unique, certain measures were taken to shortlist variables before pursuing them for adoption for a particular course of study. Variables have been shortlisted based on their prior application in similar other environments and have been adopted to fit and maximize the output of the desired research under the poultry industry perspective. For this purpose, three variables that were seen to be influenced by a single variable from similar other studies were shortlisted. Based on prior studies, these variables have been applied to current course of action. For the purpose of obtaining results, respondents were communicated with directly through questionnaire adoption and these self-explanatory questionnaires were also distributed through social media and email addresses where the target market was literate. In the end, IBM SPSS (v23) has been used to run a simple linear regression equation for calculating the plausibility of the variables under study.
