On a broader level, we offer a strategy for the decision makers to deploy appropriate assets for executing HADR smart...

We first motivate the need for implementing traceability systems in two very different industries-cobalt mining and pharmaceuticals-and present business requirements and critical success factors for implementation. Next, we describe how we carried out thematic analysis of practitioner and scho...
