Abstract: Abstract New developments in electronic cold chain management pose challenges to organisations in how they engage in inter-organisational interactions. While electronic cold chain innovations offer the promise of safer, more secure, transparent and economical life sciences supply chains, their very transparency has implications for process knowledge, cost, and the required organisational structures. Advanced sensors and wireless monitoring enable us to capture multiple parameters such as temperature, humidity, dew point and location. In parallel, improved data management tools offer a more transparent and strategic analysis of collected data. The resulting enhanced visibility invites us to rediscover how to effectively manage the actors and the work of temperature controlled international logistics.
