ANTHROPOLOGISTICS
Where Smart Supply Chain, Retail, eCommerce Logistics and Time Machines meets Anthropology
We have awesome guests line up: CxOs, Founders, Innovators, Consultants and Anthropologists of course. Many of us were involved in defining Logistics & Supply Chain arenas, from Same-Day "managed chaos", high volume regimented networks, PUDOs to Amazon and eBay. Our guests will explore interesting topics along with our producer, Eduard Lazar. Together they will unravel E/M Commerce' impact on current consumer cohorts, their habits and how this it's shaping Gen Z and Alpha, future consumers cohorts, communities and the gig economy that fuels many of today's digital unicorns.

Business anthropology is an important subfield of anthropology. Business anthropology professors at Wayne State University define business anthropology as applying anthropological theories and practices to the needs of private sector organizations, especially industrial firms. Current research initiatives in the field tend to be concentrated in (1) marketing and consumer behaviour, (2) organizational theory and culture, and (3) international business, especially international marketing, intercultural management, and intercultural communication. In short, business anthropology is a practice-oriented scholastic field in which anthropologists apply anthropological theories and methods to identify and solve real business problems in everyday life.
