Download or read book Supply Chain Management in Latin America written by Alexander Ellinger and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America is a diverse place with different cultures, climates and geographical aspects. Although there are still many challenges in the region, in recent decades the context has changed dramatically. In 2012, the region had a population of 581.4 million, GDP equal to USD 5,344 billion and a life expectancy of 74 years, which is close to that of some developed countries (The World Bank, 2014). What's more, Latin America has a highly urbanized population (79%) living in some of the largest metropolitan regions in the world including São Paulo, Mexico City and Buenos Aires. Isolated and rural regions are still evident, and often require tailored infrastructure solutions: for instance, hospitals and bank agencies established aboard ships service local communities in Amazonia. As a region, Latin America is now a large potential market. Each of its countries has a booming middle class which increasingly demands more sophisticated products and services. Global companies are also investing in new plants in countries like Mexico in order to decrease the logistical costs of shipping from other regions such as Asia. While the Latin American retail industry is still dominated by smaller stores, or nanostores (Blanco and Fransoo, 2013), the global retail index published by A.T. Kearney in 2012 ranked Brazil and Chile at the top for retail growth. Some local multinational companies, or multi-latinas, are strong global players in diverse industries like airplanes, food, oil, cement, beverages, banking and telecommunications, amongst others. The region has highly competitive agribusiness supply chains like the Chilean wine, the Colombian rose and the Brazilian and Argentinean grain and meat supply chains, which are strong competitors in global markets. This is the context of this IJPDLM ebook. It is not only a call for businesses to leverage the future growth of Latin America, but also for academics in the region and around the world to renew their interest in research within the Latin American context: e.g. the need for effective supply chain management where there is a complex combination of raising markets, unique regional variations and contrasts.

This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the changes brought on to economic and business activities in Latin America due to the new scenarios, environments and social dynamics the world is facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at both micro- and macroeconomic levels. Recent changes to working environments has brought discussions on work-life balance to the forefront, and creating support mechanisms to attract and retain the next generation of workers has become a primary focus for talent managers. At an industry level, there are expectations that once the crisis passes, there will be massive capital inflows toward ESG investments in emerging markets driving the transformation of companies. Consequently, ESG business models will have a cascading effect in the whole supply chain (upstream, midstream and downstream) and will generate greater value for all stakeholders. At the same time, technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, such as Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, have gradually been adopted by companies leading the charge in ESG business models. The financial sector has taken the lead in these two technologies, but the challenge generated by the COVID-19 pandemic forced other sectors to innovate rapidly in order to remain afloat. Using empirical and theoretical frameworks, the contributors in this book identify the most attractive alternatives to benefit consumers in an adverse environment like the one the world is facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which while posing a significant challenge for most industries, has also created new opportunities for innovation and ingenuity, analyzing case studies from the coffee and medical tourism sectors in particular.
