Innovative Supplier Management

Globalization, digitization, global supply chains and the Corona pandemic have led companies to take a closer look at value chains. Shifting services to partially competing supplier networks is giving rise to new guiding principles, strategies and processes. The focus in the future has therefore long since shifted from leveraging internal cost advantages to information exchange, stable supply chains and the exploitation of global cross-company potential.

This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
