Published in Archives of Business Research (ABR), this study by Gilles A. Pachรฉ examines how informal supply chains adapt to local constraints in rural sub-Saharan Africa and urban diasporas across North America and Europe. Grounded in social capital theory, the research highlights how actors anticipate needs, adjust operations in real time, and sustain continuity despite logistical barriers, seasonal disruptions, and regulatory challenges. Rural networks mobilize food transport across difficult terrain, while urban communities enable transnational circulation of cultural goods. By bridging anthropology and supply chain management, the article proposes a hybrid framework that values embedded practices, relational agility, and local knowledge over conventional efficiency models, offering pathways for resilient, community-driven logistics systems.
