This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future logistics managers will face a multitude of complex tasks and they will be required to develop efficient management concepts at short notice. University teaching – as well as further education – has the ability to prepare those logistics managers for future tasks by enabling them to transfer theoretical knowledge to practical problems. To contribute to more practice-oriented teaching approaches, the Competence Center for International Logistics Networks at the Chair of Logistics at Berlin University of Technology conducted 10 on-site case studies at leading manufacturing companies in the consumer goods, automotive, and machinery industries, as well as at logistics service providers. This case collection covers a wide range of topics such as supply chain transparency, lead time management, network planning, volatile customer demand, risk management, behavioral management, organizational alignment and many others. TO provide assistance for instructors that seek to apply those cases in class, guiding questions are also provided. Zukünftige Logistikmanager stehen vor einer Vielzahl komplexer Aufgaben und sind gefordert, kurzfristig effiziente Managementkonzepte zu entwickeln. Die Hochschullehre – ebenso wie die Weiterbildung – ist in der Lage, diese Logistikmanager auf zukünftige Aufgaben vorzubereiten, indem sie diese in die Lage versetzt, theoretisches Wissen auf praktische Probleme zu übertragen. Um zu praxisorientierteren Lehransätzen beizutragen, hat das Kompetenzzentrum für Internationale Logistiknetze am Fachgebiet Logistik der Technischen Universität Berlin zehn Fallstudien vor Ort bei führenden produzierenden Unternehmen der Konsumgüter-, Automobil- und Maschinenbauindustrie sowie bei Logistikdienstleistern durchgeführt. Diese Fallstudiensammlung deckt ein breites Themenspektrum ab, wie z. B. Transparenz in Lieferketten, Lead Time Management, Netzwerkplanung, volatile Kundennachfrage, Risikomanagement, Verhaltensmanagement, organisatorische Ausrichtung und viele andere. Um Lehrenden, die versuchen, diese Fallstudien im Unterricht anzuwenden, zu helfen, werden zudem Leitfragen zur Verfügung gestellt.
Download or read book Pathway of digital transformation in logistics written by Junge, Anna Lisa and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research study “Pathway of Digital Transformation in Logistics” deals with today’s logistics challenges, which are increasing speed and the integration of real-time information for data-driven services, implementing new organizational and leadership structures as well as the need for finding approaches for cooperation with new actors such as start-ups or tech companies. Therefore, the study examines four thematic building blocks central to current developments in logistics: technologies, including platforms, and data-driven services as tools and leadership and organization, as well as open innovation as enablers. The research approach is twofold. First, we investigate the four topics by means of an online questionnaire answered by 120 international participants. Second, a Delphi workshop with 32 logistics experts from industry and LSP reveals further evaluations of success factors and barriers for future developments in logistics. The study describes findings how companies move forward on the path of digital transformation towards smart logistics by presenting and discussing best practice concepts and future developments in logistics. Die Forschungsstudie "Pathway of Digital Transformation in Logistics" beschäftigt sich mit aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Logistik: zunehmende Geschwindigkeit und die Integration von Echtzeitdaten für datengetriebene Services, Implementierung neuer Organisations- und Führungsstrukturen sowie die Notwendigkeit, Ansätze für die Zusammenarbeit mit neuen Akteuren wie Start-ups oder Technologieunternehmen zu finden. Daher untersucht die Studie vier thematische Bausteine, die für aktuelle Entwicklungen in der Logistik zentral sind: Technologien, einschließlich Plattformen, und datengesteuerte Services als Werkzeuge und Führung und Organisation sowie Open Innovation als Enabler. Der Forschungsansatz ist zweigeteilt. Zunächst untersuchen wir die vier Themen anhand eines Online-Fragebogens, der von 120 internationalen Teilnehmenden beantwortet wurde. Zweitens ergibt ein Delphi-Workshop mit 32 Logistikexpert/innen aus Industrie und Logistikdienstleistung weitere Erkenntnisse über Barrieren und Erfolgsfaktoren für zukünftige Entwicklungen in der Logistik. Die Studie präsentiert Ergebnisse, wie Unternehmen auf dem Weg der digitalen Transformation zur intelligenten Logistik voranschreiten, indem sie Best-Practice-Konzepte und zukünftige Entwicklungen in der Logistik vorstellt und diskutiert.

Download or read book Chinese Firms Going Global Can They Succeed written by Healy Joseph C and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has increased its engagement with the world and is pursuing ambitious economic goals. Much has been written about the economic and social impact of Inbound Foreign Direct Investment (IFDI) on China with the transfer-in of Western resources and expertise. Less has been written, in an accessible way at least, on the unleashing of the entrepreneurial spirit and Outbound Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) of China as Chinese firms have gone global. The global expansion of Chinese firms is a recent phenomenon, which is not well understood. The book is aimed at providing an important context for understanding the challenges and biases Chinese firms face while going global, using a multi-disciplinary approach weaving themes from history, contemporary Chinese politics, geopolitics, international relations, economics, finance, strategy, culture and society, together with the role of management education in developing entrepreneurs' capabilities for success. The book also explores the basis upon which Chinese firms can compete outside their domestic market by using a Four Cs' framework -- core capabilities, cultural adaptability, competencies of management and country of origin. The book argues that weaknesses in several of the Four Cs' might be compensated for by the Fifth C -- cooperation from government. The book will appeal to the growing legion of China-watchers and general readers who are open-minded and keen to better understand their increasing profile of Chinese firms in international markets. Are they a threat? To whom? And why? Contents: The China Dream The Facts on Chinese OFDI The Five Biases The Barrier of Political Ideology The Complexity of Culture International Strategy Firm Performance and the Role of the Financial System Management Education Concluding Remarks Readership: General readers interested in China's Economy, China's overseas investment, Chinese firms' international strategies.
