Abstract

This article reports on results of a research aimed at understanding the relation between globalization and technology and what impact this relation has brought to the modern global supply chain. The research focuses on the e-business/e-commerce, a new but fast growing concept as a supply chain operation model, to compare and discuss the differences of related aspects to global supply chain management versus similar practices a decade earlier. An online questionnaire was used to collect data and the participants were all supply chain experts working for the same global logistics and transportation company. Participants' perceptions were collected about their online experience and how they have experienced the change in supply chain management as a result. The research revealed that there is a relationship between globalization, technology use, and the impact of these two elements on the evolution of the global supply chain in the e-business industry. Also, the ‘digitalization' is leading the global supply chain operations to a new operation platform. There were two main limitations in this study; a) relatively small sample size, and b) the majority of participants had a logistics background and this may have impacted their reported perceptions.

探讨全球化和技术对供应链管理的影响

本文报告了一项研究的结果，旨在了解全球化与技术之间的关系，以及这种关系给现代全球供应链带来了什么影响。本研究聚焦于电子商务/电子商务这一新兴但发展迅速的供应链运作模式，比较和讨论全球供应链管理与十年前类似实践的相关方面的差异。通过在线问卷收集数据，参与者都是在同一家全球物流和运输公司工作的供应链专家。调查收集了参与者对在线体验的看法，以及他们对供应链管理变化的感受。研究表明，全球化、技术使用以及这两个因素对电子商务行业全球供应链演变的影响之间存在着一种关系。此外，“数字化”正在引领全球供应链运营进入一个新的运营平台。本研究存在两个主要局限性;A)相对较小的样本量，b)大多数参与者有物流背景，这可能影响了他们报告的看法。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
