Abstract
The ability of SCM to promote knowledge is limited due to our lack of conceptual research; thus, well-implemented conceptual analysis can provide us with the chance to come up and face practical issues rather than staying aloof (Fawcett et al., 2011). Conceptualisation involves abstract thinking and includes the mental representation of an idea. Conceptualisation comes from the Late Latin conceptus and Medieval Latin word conceptuālis which means a thought that is only present in the mind and is distinct from the embodiment (American Heritage Dictionary, 2011).
