“Most supply chain books tend to be either dry academic affairs with limited connection to reality or buzzwordy sales funnels with the flavor of the day. Happily, this book is different. The authors navigate a complex area giving actionable insights on how to approach digital in supply chain and unlock the secrets to transforming your supply chain for the digital era.”
