Could Cloud Systems Drive Sustainable Competitive Advantages in Supply—Demand Chains?

Fawzy Soliman

Chapter 1 in Cloud Systems in Supply Chains, 2015, pp 11-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract According to Soliman (2013), competition in the 21st century is between different supply chains rather than between different companies. Supply Chain Management (SCM) as a theory of modern corporate management considers supply chains (SC) as a set of activities that move goods or services along the chain to the point of consumption. According to Quizlet (2013), retailing is the last step in a supply chain, and is responsible for “matching the individual demands of the consumer with quantities of products supplied by huge range of manufacturers.”
