In the last few years, the management literature has become noisy with Industry 4.0 (I4.0). Although several concepts and typologies intend to make the phenomenon more understandable, these endeavours generally focus on technological aspects or specific issues. Therefore, integrated approaches of the I4.0 transformation on the business side and a c...

This part is an introduction of the concept and role of inventories in the economy. We explain why holding inventories is a necessary component of economic activity and why item-level, firm-level and national-level inventories present themselves as natural focuses of analysis. Reasons of holding inventories on these three levels are discussed. Item...
The inventory behaviour at different levels of the economy is analysed by various research disciplines. Operations research, operations management, marketing provide insight into item-level and firm-level problems. Moreover, firm-, sector- and country-level inventory developments as well as international comparisons are analysed by the economics, i...
This chapter is divided into two major parts. Section 3.1 is about country and data selection. We first present the selection of our data source, and then we introduce the time horizon and final set of countries to be analysed. The variables used in the analyses are shown, and we give details about the missing data. Section 3.2 gives a brief overvi...
In this part, we take the 32 countries in the sample one by one and provide an overview of their economy from the inventory researcher’s point of view. The purpose of the chapter is to give a background for interpreting and analysing results about individual countries shown in various chapters of the book. Therefore, this chapter serves as kind of...
This book introduces a new approach in the field of macroeconomic inventory studies: the use of multivariate statistics to evaluate long-term characteristics of inventory investments in developed countries. By analyzing a 44-year period series of annual inventory change in percentage of GDP in a set of OECD countries, disclosing their relationship...
This Chapter contains a summary of the individual parts of the book in order to give an overview of the results and provide the bridges between them. We devote a chapter to each of the six previous parts, lead the reader through the main conclusions and get at the final conclusion which validates our starting research hypothesis: macroeconomic inve...
In Chap. 10.1007/978-1-4471-7371-7_4, we have seen some important characteristics of long-term inventory processes. If we want to see the relationship of these to the other GDP components, we have to examine long-term characteristics not only the GDP components but also some other macroeconomic factors, which according to previous research are in c...
The most aggregate view of inventory investment tendencies of our set of countries is the one looking at the average of country-wise annual inventory investment over the investigated time horizon. Having the complete data set of the 20 TMEs for the full time horizon, it is possible to see the main tendencies. In Sect. 4.1, we analyse the aggregate...
The aim of our research is to investigate a company’s purchasing and manufacturing competitive priorities jointly in order to uncover any relationships between them and also their effect on the supply chain tools implemented by the company. We assume that the supplier selection criteria of the companies reflect the true goals of the purchasing func...

Their moves are important indicators of the dynamics of the economy, both at the micro and macro level. In this paper, the authors venture to explain long-term macroeconomic inventory investment trends from new perspectives.We compiled...

The links between operational practices and performance are well studied in the literature, both theoretically and empirically. However, it is mostly internal factors that are inspected more closely as the basis of operational performance, even if the impact of external, environmental factors is often emphasized. Our research fills a part of this e...
