Opis

Der Praxis-Guide zur Digitalisierung von Lieferketten - zielgruppengerecht komplett in englischer Sprache

E-Book inside (ePub, mobi or pdf)Laut aktueller Umfrage betrachten sich noch immer zwei Drittel aller Unternehmen in Deutschland als Nachzügler bei der Digitalisierung ihrer Supply Chain. Höchste Zeit dem entgegenzuwirken, denn nur Unternehmen, die ihre Lieferketten rechtzeitig an künftige Anforderungen ausrichten, bleiben wettbewerbsfähig. Wie sich diese theoretische Erkenntnis praktisch umsetzen lässt, zeigen die Experten der h&z Unternehmensberatung. Dabei greifen die Autoren auf ihre umfangreiche Praxiserfahrung zurück, um konkrete Handlungsanweisungen zur erfolgreichen Transformation zu geben.Dieser handlungsorientierte Leitfaden wird durch Fallbeispiele aus Unternehmen und Interviews zu Lehren aus Pilotprojekten mit ihren Verantwortlichen ergänzt.
