The Theory, Methods and Application of Managing Digital Supply Chains cover

Digital supply chain management (DSCM) is emerging as one of the key innovative strategies ready to transform how supply chains are managed. By enabling a faster and more cost-efficient delivery of products, improving products’ traceability, enhancing coordination between supply chain entities, and helping with access to financing, DSCM is a powerful tool to address the supply chain issues of sustainability, traceability, verifiability and resilience.

Muhammad Shujaat Mubarik and Sharfuddin Ahmed Khan provide a comprehensive explanation of the digital technologies driving supply chain management.

Detailing the diverse aspects of digitalization in supply chain management, Digital Supply Chain Management helps business managers harness the cutting edge, guiding those early in their careers who seek a challenging new path whilst informing top-level managers who have their eye on the future.

The book represents a pivotal contribution to the field of supply chain management, and I believe it will serve as an indispensable resource for both academics and practitioners. The authors have meticulously crafted a comprehensive exploration of Digital Supply Chain Management (DSCM) that spans its historical evolution, key dimensions, and practical application. This book not only elucidates the profound impact of digital technologies on contemporary supply chains but also provides valuable insights into the economic and intellectual capital aspects of DSCM. What sets this book apart is its multidimensional perspective, which bridges the gap between theory and practice.

Sustainability is a paramount concern in today’s world, and this book brilliantly explores how Digital Supply Chain Management (DSCM) can be harnessed to address these challenges. The authors have artfully integrated sustainability considerations throughout the book, culminating in Chapter 9’s in-depth examination of sustainability challenges in the digital supply chain. As a professor specializing in sustainability, I find this approach particularly commendable. It underscores the critical role that DSCM plays in creating more environmentally and socially responsible supply chains. The holistic perspective presented in this book is a testament to the authors' expertise and dedication to advancing the field.
