Although it has long been obvious that utilizing emerging information technol-ogy is vital to remaining competitive, the nature of that technology has shifted in a tectonic way, and thought leadership must keep companies have yet to leverage big data analytics to trans-form their Supply Chain operations. Many are awash in data but are unsure how to use it to drive their Supply chains. Many are engaging in fragmented utilization or implementation rather than a systematic and coordinated effort.

7 The results are isolated benefits, lack of insight and competitiveness, and Supply chains plagued with inefficiencies and cost overruns. Others are unsure how to even begin, particularly small and medium-sized all the confusion? The reason is that companies lack a clear roadmap for how to implement big data analytics in a meaningful and cost-effective book attempts to remedy the situation by providing a system-atic framework for companies on how to implement big data analyt-ics across the Supply Chain to turn information into intelligence and achieve a competitive advantage. This end-to-end perspective on the application of big data analytics provides a much-needed conceptual organization to this topic while li nking strategy with tactics.

It is a tsunami that has transformed entire industries and left numerous casualties in its wake. Like Gutenberg s invention of the printing press changing the world through printing, the move toward big data is creating an equally tectonic shift in business and society.
