Including several case studies of successful implementation, it demonstrates how the increasing complexity of the business environment requires a significant intervention on the management of processes and information within individual organizations and through inter-company relations. Agile Procurement presents the application of the Agile method which optimizes and digitizes processes in order to reduce wastage and defects. As a method, tool and a culture aimed at effectiveness, efficiency and economy of organizations, Agile Procurement requires a change of paradigm. This volume examines these areas of improvement and presents best practice in the digitization of the processes. The last chapter examines the near future developments of the procurement, which the author labels Procurement 4.0. It presents also how new solutions, like Blockchain, could revolutionize procurement.Industrial procurementManagementIndustrial managementProcurementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519040Innovation/Technology Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000Industrial procurement.Management.Industrial management.Procurement.Innovation/Technology Management.658.72Nicoletti Bernardoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut35275BOOK9910298201203321Agile Procurement2503735UNINA
