Speed, social change, historical inheritance and cultural gaps are key factors which have significant impact on global collaboration and global sourcing. The author explains how working in virtual teams in a global, multicultural environment requires a significant amount of organizational and behavioral change of people and organizations. Understanding cultural differences in working styles is important for successful global project management. Major theories of international management, company internationalization, cultural dimensions and distances will be discussed to develop cross-cultural competencies and conflict management styles for international project managers. They will understand modern theories and methods of international management and will be able to apply these to practical project management problems. They understand the benefits and challenges of international cooperation and know how to identify modes of cooperation that are relevant to the needs of international teams.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) are business related tasks and processes, which are supported by standardized software solutions. The book explains that this requires business oriented thinking and acting from IT specialists and data scientists. It is a good idea to let students experience this directly from the business perspective, for example as executives of a virtual company. The course simulates the stepwise integration of the linked business process chain ERP-SCM-CRM-BI-Big Data of four competing groups of companies. The course participants become board members with full P&L responsibility for business units of one of four beer brewery groups managing supply chains from production to retailer.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI) and Big Data analytics (BDA) are business related tasks and processes, that are supported by standardized software solutions. This book explains how these tasks require business-oriented thinking and actions from IT specialists and data scientists, and argues that it is a good idea to let students experience this directly from the business perspective, for example as executives of a virtual company in a role-play exercise. The second edition of the book has been completely revised, restructured and supplemented with actual topics such as blockchains in supply chains and the correlation between big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The structure of the book is based on the gradual implementation and integration of the respective information systems from the business and management perspectives. Part I provides detailed descriptions of the topics supplemented by online tests and exercises, while Part II introduces role play and the online gaming and simulation environment. Supplementary teaching material, presentations, templates, and video clips are available online in the gaming area. The gaming and business simulation Kdibisglobal.com, newly created for this book, now includes a beer division, a bottled water division, a soft drinks division and a manufacturing division for cash-register barcode scanners with their specific business processes and supply chains. The Author Klaus-Dieter Gronwald is lecturer, author, serious game developer and founder of Kdibis Learning Games. He combines teaching at various international business schools and colleges with career as a senior executive in industry developing new global sourcing strategies and advanced shared services models for IT- and engineering services in virtual teams. Klaus-Dieter Gronwald graduated from Leibniz University Hannover, in Germany, with a Masters and Ph.D. in Physics.

Die technologiegetriebene Digitalisierung globaler Supply Chain-Netzwerke hat viele Facetten. Sie steht im Spannungsfeld politischer, ökonomischer, ökologischer und gesellschaftlicher Faktoren. Der Erwerb notwendiger Kernkompetenzen in den Bereichen Big Data, In-Memory Computing, Machine Learning und Data Management ist zwingend. Blockchains, Smart Contracts und Due Diligence für Supply Chain Management-Systeme beeinflussen den Wandel von einer Shareholder-dominierten Unternehmensführung zu einer Stakeholder-fokussierten globalen Unternehmensverantwortung mit ethischen Werten. Das Verständnis kultureller Unterschiede in Arbeitsstilen ist ein Schlüssel zu einer erfolgreichen globalen Teamarbeit. Die wichtigsten Theorien zur Internationalisierung von Unternehmen und zu kulturellen Dimensionen/Distanzen werden diskutiert, um interkulturelle Kompetenzen und Konfliktmanagementstile für internationale Projektmanager zu entwickeln. Leserinnen und Leser lernen die Herausforderungen internationaler Kooperation kennen und können die für die Bedürfnisse globaler virtueller Teams relevanten Formen der Zusammenarbeit unter Einsatz von Technologien und Medien anwenden. Der Autor Klaus-Dieter Gronwald ist Dozent und Autor mit Lehraufträgen an internationalen Hochschulen und Fachschulen mit zusätzlicher langjähriger Erfahrung in leitender Position in der IT-Services-Industrie. Er studierte Physik und promovierte zum Dr. rer. nat. an der Leibniz Universität Hannover in Deutschland.
