Click Here to Print a Maker Movement Supply Chain: How Invention and Entrepreneurship Will Disrupt Supply Chain Design
探讨3D打印等新兴技术如何赋能发明者成为创业者，缩短产品上市周期并增加产品多样性，进而颠覆传统供应链设计，对供应链管理实践、研究和教学提出重要研究问题。
Emerging technologies such as 3D printing promise to transform supply chain design and management. As these new technologies enable inventors to become entrepreneurs, new product introduction cycle times are being reduced and the variety of new products that are introduced through short channels of distribution is increasing. We show that these disruptive forces are growing and may have significant implications for practice, research, and teaching in supply chain management. We identify and elaborate important research questions, calling for theory‐driven research to explain and predict how these phenomena will impact supply chain management.
