Supplement to case IMD820. The case series is based upon comprehensive meetings with crucial executives at adidas Russia/CIS in charge of carrying out the extreme IT, supply chain and omnichannel efforts that changed adidas Russia/CIS from among the weakest entertainers to the brand-new requirement inside the Group.
