In the contemporary fast-changing business and consumer environment,
traditional businesses experience a wide range of challenges and
opportunities, coming from new digital technologies. EPCA has therefore
engaged in this research project with Vlerick Business School to identify
how digitisation can create extra value in the supply chain of the
petrochemical sector. Professor Ann Vereecke and researchers Joachim Van
den Bergh and Olga Varganova conducted the research in two phases. Through
a survey to a large number of respondents, they have investigated the
digital technology awareness and digital innovation practices present in
companies that are active in the petrochemical supply chain. Secondly, they
identified some best practices of digitisation in the petrochemical supply
chain and present them as eleven short cases, eye-openers showing the value
that can be created through digitisation and how to get it done.
