Barloworld Logistics has released the results of its 10th research survey: Supply chain foresight 2013 titled ‘Serial Innovation, Smart Partnerships and Sustainable Advantages’. Kate Stubbs, Barloworld Logistics marketing executive, says: “The research highlights that South African companies need to understand that the pace at which change is occurring in the global economy is on an accelerating trajectory and anyone who fails to keep up now will inevitably fall too far behind to catch up.”Supply chain foresight 2013 outlines the progress South African companies are making and also highlights the way forward. It is an independent study, which is conducted by international research specialists Frost & Sullivan on behalf of Barloworld Logistics.
The study looks at the following key issues:- The objectives and constraints businesses and supply chains face over the next five to ten years.
- What is driving innovation in business, which industries are the most innovative and why and how South Africa fares as an innovating nation?
- How smart partnerships are about thinking differently and creating innovation. Can we have smart partnerships as a country?
- How sustainable advantage is the only and ultimate measure of success.
