CHANGE MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Only by embracing change and by taking steps to implement change successfully, will organisations be able to fully reap the benefits of a modernised supply chain. The first step towards embracing change is for businesses to first consider why and how they have to modify long-standing supply chain procedures.
