Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

Integrated thinking is in stark contrast to our desire to take things apart and examine them separately. As a result, the study and practice of management is typically structured along functional lines such as procurement, production and sales. In this 'silo' approach, the parts are not integrated into the whole. And yet, thinking about the whole rather than the individual elements often provides better solutions. This paper, therefore, embraces integrated thinking in the context of Digital Business and Supply Chain Management. Students will not only learn about these two topics, but will also appreciate the broader context of business problems and decision making.
