For managers in need of a comprehensive reference as well as students, this description of the theories as well as the practices of supply chain management covers a range of topics, all of
which have been updated with information about new trends, practices and technologies. The authors assume readers need a first look (or a new look) on what constitutes supply chain management
and its structure and process. They then describe inter-organizational relationships, information systems, distribution operations, production issues, innovation management, procurement,
transport and logistics, reverse logistics and sustainability, performance measurement and management, strategies, planning and modeling, and managing complexity. The references are
particularly comprehensive. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
