"Moore’s law dictates that the density of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles roughly every two years. This rule of thumb has since extended into advancements in other technology systems, across storage, computing power, and even the number of pixels on a digital camera. As a result of the exponential growth, dramatic boosts in the performance of digital systems and the affordability of individual components have ushered in a new era of disruption and paved the way for data-driven decision making. From a supply chain perspective, such advances have initiated a fundamental shift from linear, sequential supply chain operations to interconnected and dynamic networks, termed digital supply networks or “DSNs” (see figure 1). By integrating a company’s entire supply chain to inform and achieve business objectives rather than narrowly manage and optimize discrete functions, the applications of DSNs promise to enrich day- to-day operations and serve as a source of strategic differentiation for businesses in the very near future (see figures 2 and 3).1 Companies in sectors as diverse as information and communications technology (ICT), financial services, and consumer and industrial products (CIP) have already begun to reap the operational and strategic benefits of digital adoption. Faced with rising price pressures imposed by health care providers and challenged" En bref issu de l'étude.
