Business Systems, Processes and Technology

The Research Challenge

The systemic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions and the tactics across these business functions within particular companies and across businesses within the supply chain are constantly challenged in terms of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole.

There is a clear requirement for innovation in business processes and technology to execute supply chain transactions, manage supplier relationships and control associated business processes, including aspects such as risks associated with events and factors that can disrupt a supply chain
