Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management Provides a Concise, Global Approach to Logistics and Supply Chain Management

DUBLIN, Ireland - Research and Markets has announced the addition of “Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management” to their offering.

Written by two highly experienced authors, this new text provides a concise, global approach to logistics and supply chain management. Featuring both a practical element, enabling the reader to ‘do’ logistics (select carriers, identify routes, structure warehouses, etc.) and a strategic element (understand the role of logistics and supply chain management in the wider business context), the book also uses a good range of international case material to illustrate key concepts and extend learning.
