Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to gain a clear picture of the current status and future challenges with regard to the digitalization of the supply chain – from the perspective of the suppliers, the manufacturers, and the customers. They were the target groups of the book. Digitization has touched upon all aspects of businesses, including supply chains. Technologies such as RFID, GPS, and sensors have enabled organizations to transform their existing hybrid (combination of paper-based and IT-supported processes) supply chain structures into more f lexible, open, agile, and collaborative digital models. Unlike hybrid supply chain models, which have resulted in rigid organizational structures, unobtainable data, and disjointed relationships with partners, digital supply chains enable business process automation, organizational flexibility, and digital management of corporate assets. In order to reap maximum benefits from digital supply chain models, it is important that companies internalize it as an integral part of the overall business model and organizational structure. Localized disconnected projects and silo-based operations pose a serious threat to competitiveness in an increasingly digital world. The technologies discussed in this text – artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Internet of things, etc. – are beginning to come together to help digitize, automate, integrate, and improve the global supply chains. It’s certainly an exciting and challenging time for both new supply chain professionals and long-time supply chain professionals.

As we traverse the 21st century and beyond, the logistics landscape is rapidly morphing into a complex network of interconnected systems that require astute management for optimal efficiency and effectiveness. This book, "Logistics Management in the 21st Century and Beyond," aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the current trends, challenges, and future potentials of logistics management.

This book delves into these issues, offering insights into managing logistics in this complex era and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. Moreover, this book also paves the way to the future, exploring the potential impacts of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicles on logistics management. It also discusses the importance of sustainability and resilience in logistics, as climate change and global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the need for logistics systems that can withstand shocks and adapt to new circumstances. "Logistics Management in the 21st Century and Beyond" is a guide to the current state of logistics management and a roadmap to its future. It is intended for logistics professionals, business managers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamic field of logistics management. It provides a wealth of knowledge and practical insights, highlighting the importance of logistics in our interconnected, fast-paced, and ever-changing world.
