Abstract
Explores the principles of value chain management, as they apply to both public and private products, and explores the impact of e‐commerce and collaborative planning through the Internet on reducing costs and uncertainty in supply chains. Drawing on experience from global initiatives with e‐centreuk, and recent applications within Nestle UK, makes a plea for simplicity and standardisation in electronic commerce, to support speedy and certain value chain management across the globe.
