New book addresses digital supply network challenges in the coronavirus era
COVID-19 has underscored vulnerabilities and bottlenecks in global supply networks. Hence, executives and leadership teams have been focusing on adjusting the configuration of their value chain. Whatever shape an organization’s supply systems take, the pandemic has made clear that in order to be successful, it has to be digitally enabled moving forward. The new book, “Digital Supply Networks: Transform Your Supply Chain and Gain Competitive Advantage with Disruptive Technology and Reimagined Processes,” addresses this timely issue through a structured and hands-on approach augmented by industry-inspired examples. It discusses how organizations can leverage disruptive digital technology to reimagine processes and build a more resilient supply network. As disturbing as the current global pandemic has been, disruptive crises have grown in frequency and scope. Therefore, digital supply networks can help organizations prepare for future scenarios while also increasing their competitiveness. However, the digitalization process is not straightforward.
The book examines the impact of disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, on supply chain management processes and practices. Drawing from real-world experience and problem-driven academic research, the authors provide an in-depth account of the move toward digitally connected supply networks. The book discusses the limitations of traditional supply chains in today’s digital and connected world, and derives the underlying capabilities and potential of digitally enabled supply flows. The chapters are filled with expert insights and real-life use cases, consisting of an essential guide to developing digital supply networks (DSN) for maximum competitive advantage. The book discusses the critical enabling technologies, provides guidance on their deployment and their context, as well as illustrates their application in designing and building the core DSN capabilities for your organization. The authors also offer a hands-on playbook and several industrial use cases to guide organizations, executives, leaders and operational personnel in their transformation process.
Decision-makers will find provocative and stimulating insights and knowledge to successfully navigate the confusion and develop their own unique strategy and digital transformation journey. The authors wrote the book in an accessible and nontechnical format that will cater to a broad audience, including executives, managers, leaders, academics and students involved or interested in developing a solid foundation on this exciting and impactful topic. Professionals contemplating the journey or already in its midst will benefit from the insights and hands-on guidance. Organizations and innovative leaders seeking external assistance to jump-start their digital transformation journeys will find the material in the book essential for a fruitful engagement. The content applies to all business sectors and industries, with a particular focus to supply chain and manufacturing.
