An essential guide to creating a successful, fully integrated digital supply network Digital transformation has changed the way we live and work. The rapid evolution of digital technologies is fundamentally transforming supply chain management processes. Competitive success now depends on the strategic adoption of new technologies and the digitalization of demand-supply systems, more collaborative and connected processes, and smarter, more dynamic data-driven decision making-a fully integrated "Digital Supply Network." Digital Supply Network examines the impact new technology has had on supply chain management processes, sub-processes, technologies, and best practices. Drawn from real world-experience and stellar academic research, the book provides an in-depth account of the move to digitally connected supply chain management networks. Filled with expert insights and real-life case studies, this is an essential guide to fully integrating digital supply networks for maximum competitive advantage. You'll learn everything you need to know about: *How DSN redefines the principles of SCM for the digital era*Phases, roles, technology, and the benefits of DSN*Data quality, lifecycle, security, authority, and analytics *Practical application of technologies like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Robotics and Additive Manufacturing, and the Internet of Things (IoT)*Synchronized planning, demand forecasting, and responsive supply planning*Managerial aspects of digital technologies, and approaches for evaluation and use*Harnessing demand-supply-logistics technology for greater organizational success*Digital product development, and more

The question of whether or not communities could and should manage their own resources according to their own custom, knowledge and technologies is an issue that has been analyzed from divergent perspectives. Recent academic attempts remark the positive role of 'community' in natural resources conservation; however, local and indigenous populations have been criticized by anthropological and historical research, arguing that communities are not as environmentally-friendly as it has been stated. Either constrained by socio-economic and political processes or romanticized by advocates of community-based approaches; this academic work seeks to answer if is the community's fate to disappear in the context of natural resources conservation, or under the pressures of current neo-liberal processes? Or is it possible to enhance the positive role of communities in the conservation and management of natural resources. Based on a review of different theoretical perspectives, Problematizing the Role of Community in Natural Resource Management assess the role of community in forest conservation using as a case study the top-down management systems of the Nevado de Toluca National Park (NTNP).
