Digitalisation of the Greening Supply Chain, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book includes in-depth discussions on practical aspects of digitalisation of a supply chains and covers a vary array of actionable digitisation tools. The academic literature points to a serious lack of precision in the scope that the digitalisation of business processes should address. Studies on the digitalisation of businesses have pointed to the fragmented nature of their coverage and the lack of a comprehensive approach to the research conducted in this area. Digital transformation is described in academic and specialist literature as the integration of digital technology into all areas of business, which in turn is causing fundamental changes in the way a company delivers its services and business activities, cultural changes and a change from traditional business processes to new, innovative practices and solutions that are having an impact on the greening supply chains. It is important to note that digital transformation involves the introduction of innovation and new business models, incorporating the computerisation of resources, supply chain visibility and increasing the use of technology to improve the experience of employees, customers, suppliers, partners and supply chain stakeholders.

Digitisation is a business trend that is becoming increasingly important. Books on this subject that have been published in recent years deal with the issue on a fragmented basis. It is not possible to find a publication that comprehensively presents opportunities for the digitisation of supply chains through the computerisation and standardisation of information flows, the integration of IT systems in supply chains and the application of modern technologies and innovations. Only the synergy of these three aspects allows for the full digitalisation of greening supply chains.

The book is an excellent material for both theoreticians and practitioners. Theoreticians will find inspiring research results in a very narrow thematic scope, which is also dynamically developing.
