Re-Imagining Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management is the most complex area in many businesses due to its diverse set of actions, agents, decisions, risks, and uncertainties. Therefore, supply chains may break up in disarray due to their structural complexity coupled with risks and uncertainties in the absence of clear objectives. In this book, we attempt to address these issues by uncovering the fundamental trade-offs of supply chain management, their economic causes, and strategic implications. This book offers a novel framework of supply chain management based on its role in economic systems. The framework shows four effective supply chain strategies according to business models and organizational sensitivity to operational trade-offs. Further, this book offers a detailed account of digital transformation of supply chains, elaborating on crucial aspects of the design and implementation of digitalization.
