Abstract
The aim of this document is
to present a full description of the innovative efforts that have been made
over time to develop digital technologies to manage the interfaces between
supply chain management and marketing processes, and beyond that the role they
play in maintaining supply chain management and marketing (SCM-M). The
methodology used is patent analysis, which collects data from six different
offices (USA, China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Germany) and uses real
samples to perform this analysis. The research also learned of a number of key
security technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry
4.0) that are considered more relevant for the effective integration of SCM-M
(i.e.me. Industrial Internet of Things and Cloud Computing). The results of
this study provide detailed information on the digital technologies that
support SCM-M integration. Concretely, the authors compose the role dispute
related to information, storage and elaboration for the integration of SCM-M by
wishing on illustrative realities. In addition, the authors present the
organizations most involved in the development of digital technologies for
SCM-M integration over time and provide evidence of the impact of these
technologies in terms of their impact on resulting technology developments.
