Abstract: This paper thoroughly describes traditional and digital supply chains and their key characteristics. Since digitization has had an impact on every single aspect of human life across the world, it is also transforming traditional into digital supply chains. The research domain is the explana­tion of traditional and digital supply chains and their comparison based on their stated differences. The methodological approach involves a compar­ative analysis of traditional and digital supply chains based on a literature review. The result of the paper is the identification of the specifics of digital supply chains and their importance for the company’s business. The origi­nality of the paper is ensured by a comparative analysis of the characteris­tics of traditional and digital supply chains, which are presented in the form of a table and described in the text. Possible limitations of the paper refer to the availability of relevant literature.
