Abstract

This chapter is a general introduction to the book and the research that originated it. The chapter introduces the relevant concept that it is not appropriate to talk anymore of the supply chain. It is necessary to consider supply networks and clarify the reasons for the naming change. There are several reasons for this change, connected with the change in the business models and the increased relevance of considering not the single organization but the ecosystem around the organization, which is an influential contributor to its supply network. This chapter introduces the concept of supply network 5.0 and its main characteristics connected with human-automation-machine integration, sustainability, and resilience. This chapter aims to reply to questions such as the following ones. What are the most noticeable characteristics of a general modern supply network? How is it structured, and how does it interact with its stakeholders and reference environments? What is it meant to refer to with supply network 5.0? What are the most critical solutions to deploy to make its realization possible and successful? What are the most prominent elements of this trend, and what are the implications for a competitive organization?
