This study investigates the use of social media platforms (SMPs) for acquiring supply chain intelligence (SCI) to improve supply chain performance. Given the growth of social media use, there is an urgency for increased understanding of the effectiveness of emerging SMPs. In today's competitive global environment, supply chain managers need to have a precise understanding about the SMPs that have become one of the premier sources of gaining SCI and in turn foster supply chain performance. Organizations need a methodology for selecting SMPs to remain proactive ahead of their competitors. The evolution of SMPs has caused a paradigm shift in how organizations obtain SCI to increase their revenues, profitability and reputation. The aim of this study is to apply a multi-criteria analysis using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to select SMPs. Stage 1 represents the primary goal, the decision maker wishes to gain in executing SMPs; Stage 2 consists of decision criteria; Stage 3 is composed of sub-criteria; and finally Stage 4 represents the SMP alternatives reported in the organizational hierarchy structure. The objective of this model is to rank the SMPs. The model includes key supply chain performance factors in the organization. The hierarchical models are used to breakdown the complex notion of supply chain performance into its constituent parts. The second phase of the hierarchical model consists of the performance indicators of which supply chain performance is composed. Hence, the modeled value is the supply chain performance in the organization. Our results indicate that the top three supply chain performance indicators are quality, assurance of supply and delivery. Meanwhile the top three types of supply chain intelligence are logistics intelligence, product/process intelligence and supply chain visibility intelligence. The top three SMP alternatives are, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
