Building Supply Chain Excellence in Emerging Economies (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The rapidly developing new economies in China, India, Hungary, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, etc., are at the crossroads of almost all major supply chains. In fact, these emerging economies are in fact growing faster than the established industrial economies of the world. However, given the physical, social and cultural characteristics of the emerging economies, managing supply chains there could be even more challenging than in developed economies. How can we manage supply chains well in emerging economies, coordinate information flows with multiple partners, tackle challenges such as unexpected disruptions, diversify the risks and increase flexibilities, be efficient but at the same time contribute to the social and environmental developments of these economies, and use supply chain concepts and practices to improve the economic welfare of these countries, such as basic infrastructure developments and disaster relief, are the topics and issues of the book.

BUILDING SUPPLY-CHAIN EXCELLENCE IN EMERGING ECONOMIES provides some insights on the answers to the above questions and will enable practitioners to gain insights on the developments, challenges and opportunities when operating supply chains in emerging economies. Innovative approaches are outlined and illustrated with examples of real-world experiences by progressive companies and thought leaders. We also hope that this collection will stimulate researchers to gain deeper understanding and develop methods in operating supply chains in emerging economies.

We have organized the book in three key sections. Global Supply Chain: General Strategies and Framework develops the overall framework in managing global supply chains and developing strategies. Supply Chain Management in Emerging Economies: Challenges and Opportunities describes the challenges and opportunities in supply chain management of emerging economies - the infrastructure constraints, the logistics inefficiencies, and limitations in service operations; and discusses how to create opportunities in such adverse conditions. Building Supply Chain Excellence: Innovations and Success Cases is devoted to a number of industrial cases that showcase innovative approaches to gain excellence, and share insights and lessons from such experiences.

Aus den Rezensionen: "... Der erste Teil des Buches behandelt generelle Besonderheiten globaler SCM-Strategien. Die Chancen und Herausforderungen arbeiten die Autoren im zweiten Teil an Fallbeispielen auf den Logistikmärkten Indiens und Chinas heraus. Dabei gehen sie unter anderem auf die gesetzlichen Regelungen und Handelsbestimmungen ein. Darüber hinaus wird auch die besondere Bedeutung der Rückhollogistik erläutert. Im dritten Teil werden dem Leser schließlich innovative Ansätze aus der Praxis präsentiert. ... Diese Ansätze sind so aufbereitet, dass sie branchenübergreifend Geltung haben." (Die Hürden überwinden, in: LOG., 2007, Vol. Sondernummer, Issue 1, S. 33) "... Ausgehend von strategischen ... Betrachtungen zum SCM im ersten Teil, werden im zweiten Teil die besonderen Herausforderungen und Chancen des SCM in Schwellenländern ... sorgfältig analysiert, bevor im besonders lesenswerten dritten Teil innovative Lösungen auf dem Weg zu einer Supply Chain Excellence ... präsentiert werden. Das Buch verdient Beachtung in Zeiten, da alle Welt oftmals unreflektiert für eine Ausweitung der Beschaffung und Produktion in die Schwellenländer plädiert. Es macht Mut, hier mit Augenmaß voranzugehen und legt die Chancen ebenso wie die Risiken dar." (Dr. Robert Fieten, in: Beschaffung aktuell, 2008, Issue 6, S. 69)
