Abstract
A look at the economic data shows more than clearly that production in the high-cost countries is still important. Contrary to opinions to the contrary, production is not leaving the “rich countries” and never has. Nevertheless, the constant drive for optimization will continue both in high-cost countries and at the global production network level. New digital technologies will create the next level of opportunity for further productivity gains. This book takes you through the entire process from ideation to roadmapping to implementation and shows you how to systematically leverage digitalization to further strengthen your operations.
