Description: Preface
Innovation is increasingly considered as an enabler of business competitive
advantage. More and more organizations focus on satisfying their consumer’s
demand of innovative and qualitative products and services by applying both
technology-supported and non technology-supported innovative methods in their
supply chain practices.
Due to its very characteristic i.e. novelty, innovation is double-edged sword;
capturing value from innovative methods in supply chain practices has been one
of the important topics among practitioners as well as researchers of the field.
This book contains manuscripts that make excellent contributions to the
mentioned fields of research by addressing topics such as innovative and
technology-based solutions, supply chain security management, as well as
current cooperation and performance practices in supply chain management.
We would like to thank the international group of authors for making this volume
possible. Their outstanding work significantly contributes to supply chain
management research. This book would not exist without good organization and
preparation; we would like to thank, Sara Kheiravar, Tabea Tressin, Matthias
Ehni and Niels Hackius for their efforts to prepare, structure, and finalize this
book.
