"The book tackles a key issue related to using information and communication technologies in supply chain management. Although technological tools have been extensively studied over the past twenty years, their importance has grown significantly today with the adoption of cloud platforms, blockchains, consensus mechanisms, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence. This book aims to address these challenges in supply chain management by presenting the underlying theory, discussing practical examples, and exploring ways for supply chains to implement various tools to enhance efficiency and competitiveness. This makes the book especially valuable for researchers seeking new inspiration, students needing a comprehensive foundation of knowledge, and managers looking for innovative solutions and insights on how to solve decision-making problems."

"This book offers a rare yet crucially needed systemic perspective on the digital transformation of logistics. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of digital technologies on relevant links in modern supply chains – from procurement and production logistics, through distribution, to urban logistics. The authors combine theoretical reflection with practical tools: a proprietary digital maturity model and development scenarios, making the publication a valuable resource for researchers, managers, and decision-makers. This book not only summarizes the current state of knowledge but also outlines directions for further research and implementation."
