In light of the rapid development of globalization and the ever-increasing international competition, many companies have turned their attention to external resources to reduce costs and enhance their competitiveness. Consequently, the supplier has become an important competitive factor, working towards the integration of the characteristics of a triad known as the supply chain triad. This triad helps organizations evaluate and select suppliers in a scientific and efficient manner. The three characteristics of the triad are distinguished by their effectiveness, adaptability, and alignment. This study presents several questions to clarify the issue as follows: Do the employees at Korek Telecom Company/Mosul branch have an idea about the concept of the supply chain triad? Do the employees at Korek Telecom Company/Mosul branch have knowledge of the dimensions of the supply chain triad? To achieve the research objectives, a questionnaire was used in the fieldwork as a main tool for data and information collection.
