They were the target groups of the book. Digitization has touched upon all aspects of businesses, including supply chains. Technologies such as RFID, GPS, and sensors have enabled organizations to transform their existing hybrid (combination of paper-based and IT-supported processes) supply chain structures into more f lexible, open, agile, and collaborative digital models. Unlike hybrid supply chain models, which have resulted in rigid organizational structures, unobtainable data, and disjointed relationships with partners, digital supply chains enable business process automation, organizational flexibility, and digital management of corporate assets. In order to reap maximum benefits from digital supply chain models, it is important that companies internalize it as an integral part of the overall business model and organizational structure. Localized disconnected projects and silo-based operations pose a serious threat to competitiveness in an increasingly digital world. The technologies discussed in this text - artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Internet of things, etc. -are beginning to come together to help digitize, automate, integrate, and improve the global supply chains. It's certainly an exciting and challenging time for both new supply chain professionals and long-time supply chain professionals. 606 $aBusiness logistics$xInformation technology 615 0$aBusiness logistics$xInformation technology. 676 $a658.70285 700 $aRosenberg$b Stuart$01570087 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794310303321 996 $aThe digitalization of the 21st century supply chain$93843488 997 $aUNINA
