Chapter 6 in Competitive Supply Chains, 2007, pp 85-104 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The 1986 Annual Report of the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) was setting an ambitious goal: “Our goal is to connect all parts of an organization — the office, the factory floor, the laboratory, the engineering department — from desktop to data center. We can connect everything within a building; we can connect a group of buildings on the same site or at remote sites; we can connect an entire organization around the world. We propose to connect a company from top to bottom with a single network that includes the shipping clerk, the secretary, the manager, the vice president, even the president.”1
