THE EMERGENCE OF NEW VALUE CHAIN HIERARCHIES: NEW CHALLENGES FOR SOFT COMPUTING IN THE WORLD OF EMERGING COMPLEXITY
Ing. Michal Salaj
This paper is concerned about phase transition that is currently happening in supply chain managements all over the world, and will bring us to a whole new world of a value perception. “Phase” transition can be seen as the reconfiguration of the system from one state to another, with different quantitative and qualitative characteristics on the beginning of the process as on its end. The key facilitating mechanism in this evolution phase of supply chain management is the change of value chain perception from manufacturer-centric to customer-focused corporate vision. This shift of perception drives the change throughout a firm's internal and external linkages and will lead to new forms of value chain organization and management in future.

Multi-layer flow management model in Supply chain management
Ing. Michal Salaj
Definition of the Multi-layer flow management model scope. This scope should be taken into consideration as a basis for creation of a synergic and holistic setting for a collaborative supply chain management. The approach is not based on the analysis of each operation and process and their “sub-optimization”, rather relies on a holistic view, that takes into account strategies, goals, systems, geographical dispersion, time dispersion, demand patterns and product portfolios of all parties incorporated into the collaborative supply chain through synergic connections.

Dáta boli, sú, aj budú základ poznania
Ing. Michal Salaj
Paradoxne v dobe plnej hesiel ako digitálna technológia, informačná spoločnosť a znalostná ekonomika, je čoraz ťažšie dostať sa k dátam. Teraz nemyslím pod dátami tony papiera, alebo nekonečné tera-bajty diskových polí plných núl a jednotiek, ale dáta s veľkým D na začiatku.
