Each student has to find a research paper (Journal or Conference article) discussing the topic of “Evaluate the impact of digital technologies on the efficiency and effectiveness of global supply chain coordination”. The found paper must be summarized in two pages (Double Spaced, Auto/Auto, Times New Romans, font 12). Only text should be found in the summary, no tables, figures, equations, titles or subtitles, citations or bullets. Do not forget to mention the paper title, the name of the authors, the name of the journal with the volume number, and the publication year on the cover page of your summary as reference, using one of the standard citation systems. The citations standards (APA, Harvard, IEEE and others) can be found under References when you use Microsoft word. You can use the library online search system to find a research paper.
