Description & Coverage
Description:

Although most supply chains have changed dramatically over the years, the dynamic aspects of supply chains, such as changes in the suppliers, factory and storage locations, production processes, and distribution structures, are rarely studied and considered. Further study on the evolution of supply chains is crucial in order to ensure they are working as efficiently as possible.

Frameworks and Cases on Evolutional Supply Chain considers the dynamic aspects of the supply chain and provides frameworks of the evolutional supply chain through symbolic case studies. Covering a range of topics such as industrial clusters, food loss, and the global supply chain, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, researchers, practitioners, scholars, academicians, policymakers, business owners, government officials, instructors, and students.

Reviews & Statements

"When crisis occurs, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the resilience of supply chain plays a more determinant role for many companies than before. However, for both MNCs and domestic corporations, supply chain has various characteristics in different industries for the variety and innovation of products and services. Consequently, different industries need distinct human resources of supply chain to keep necessary knowledge and knowhow for competition and long-term development. Hence, I hope to find valuable approaches of international supply chain strategy and human resource development and contribute to internaitonal supply chain resilience and sustainability both theoretically and practically."

– Prof. Yanghua Zhou, Edogawa University, Japan

"This book explores the factors that can lead to the transformation of supply chain frameworks, highlighting the impact of technological advancements, shifts in the social environment, and evolving consumer needs. It provides real-life examples from various industries such as automotive, retail, and food to illustrate these changes. The transformation of supply chains occurred as a response to changing consumer needs and the evolving social environment. This shift was made possible by advancements in science, technology, and management techniques. Supply chains change by adopting a more sophisticated division of labor and incorporating flexible stakeholders. These adaptations aim to enhance their responsiveness to market demands and mitigate risks."

– TORU HIGUCHI, Sakushin Gakuin University
