E-Business in a Vendor-Customer Interface: Implications for Logistics Concerning Physical Distribution and Information Management
(2003) 8th International Symposium on Logistics, 2003- Abstract
- In today’s business environment the use of e-business is gradually becoming more common.

It also shows that reality does not always correspond to the expectations of bypassing different functions in the supply chain. Both case studies show a change in the information flow but the different steps the information goes through remain the same; hence, no prior steps are bypassed with the e-business solution. However, value can be added... (More)
