Trends and Strategies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management – Digital Transformation Opportunities
More than twenty-five years ago, the Global Supply Chain Network (BVL) launched the study series “Trends and Strategies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management”. Since then, the project has produced information about future developments and possible courses of action, so that it functions as a leading source for logistics and supply chain management experts.
The 2016/2017 study was conducted on behalf of BVL by the Institute of Business Logistics and General Management (Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Wolfgang Kersten), the International Performance Research Institute (Prof. Dr. Mischa Seiter), Lufthansa Industry Solutions (Dr. Gabriele Reich) and Horváth & Partner (Dr. Ralf Sauter).
This edition appears at a time of profound change. Companies find themselves in an increasingly volatile environment. The trends already identified in the previous edition, such as individualization, complexity, and volatility are still relevant, shaping both the industry and the individual company environment. Increasing digitization leads to new business models and puts the existing structures to the test. Logistics is increasingly determined by connectivity and new mobility concepts. The current edition, therefore, focuses on the topic “Digital transformation opportunities”. The study examines these opportunities on the basis of four, from our point of view, essential, perspectives:
- innovative technology concepts,
- changes in the supply chain,
- changed competence requirements, as well as
- new and adjusted business models.
