Principles of Global Supply Chain Management (Anthem Studies in Supply Chain Management, Maritime Transport and Logistics)

Many of the textbooks available for undergraduate and sub-degree students beginning to learn the concepts and practice of global supply chains are either too technical or too theoretical in nature. To fill this gap, 'Managing Global Supply Chains' includes chapters that cover traditional and contemporary topics (reverse logistics, logistics associations, logistics education, sustainability in supply chain management, operations in global supply chains and financial management). Globalization, advanced technology, organizational consolidation, the empowered consumer and government policy have contributed to the timeliness of the book. The key topics of each chapter demonstrate a variety of fundamental issues in the supply chain industry: What are supply chain markets? What is the supply chain cost structure? What are supply chain strategies? How do supply chain firms design and implement strategies? What are the key roles of logistics service providers, logistics education operators and logistics associations? How should supply chain operations be managed? How is a sustainable and innovative supply chain structure created? Comparative practical case studies from Asia, North America and Latin America lend weight to the chapters. | Supply chain management is the cornerstone of the competitive strategies of many presentday organizations and has evolved from the operational to the strategic level.

Supply chain management is a cornerstone of the competitive strategies of many present-day organizations and has evolved from the operational to the strategic level. Understanding this, 'Managing Global Supply Chains' offers a comprehensive insight into the global supply chain sector - analysing the strategic, operational and financial aspects of the industry, and addressing the key elements in the management of global supply chains. The book is based on four principles, namely, clarity (which makes it simple for readers to comprehend); richness (which identifies questions from various academic experiences and disciplines to encourage readers to find out possible unexplored research or key issues); innovations (which prompts readers to reflect on changing traditional, day-to-day operations for enhancement); and practicality (which equips learners with the skills and knowledge to work in the real world).-- Provided by publisher "When we were designing and planning for this book, a few quick questions came to our mind: how could we transform new knowledge into practice? How important were infrastructural issues in supply chains? Were there any key research topics that have seriously been neglected in previous books publication? Were active scholars participating in research dedicated to industrial practitioners? Indeed, that is a core objective of applied research can contribute to academic, industry and community in an ever-changing world. This book addresses supply chain's role on the global economy and organizations"-- Provided by publisher Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction; 2.
