Figure 1
A conceptual framework diagram of digital traceability systems as inter-organisational information infrastructures in multi-tier supply networks. The diagram is structured into several interconnected sections. On the left, three drivers are listed: Operational, Institutional legitimacy, and Strategic differentiation. These drivers connect to a central section labeled Enabling mechanism, which includes a Digital platform for data integration and standardization, Informational mechanisms, and Relational coordination. To the right, the Supply network tiers are depicted with four levels: Raw materials, Processing, Manufacturing, and Brand/retail. At the bottom, Traceability depth is shown with three outcomes: Information integration, Transparency & sustainability, and Cross-tier coordination.Conceptual framework of digital traceability systems as inter-organisational information infrastructures in multi-tier supply networks
