Supply Chain Management: A Global Perspective
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2011, Pages: 428
In Supply Chain Management 1e, Nada Sanders presents material from a uniquely balanced, integrative, and business-oriented viewpoint. Examining supply chain management as a boundary-spanning function that is intertwined with other organizational areas, the text provides future supply chain managers instruction on interactions and integration of multiple business units. Supply Chain Management contains extensive pedagogy and solved problems to make difficult concepts accessible, along with examples of the latest business practices in supply chain management.
Existing supply chain management books focus on logistics, operations management, and purchasing. Sanders provides supply chain managers with a completely unique approach, presenting SCM from a balanced, integrative, and business-oriented viewpoint. Rather than examining SCM as an offshoot of other business functions, this book discusses it as a boundary-spanning function that is intertwined with other organizational functions. It contains extensive pedagogy and solved problems to make difficult concepts easy to understand. A rich set of current examples are also included to make the material more relevant. Supply chain managers will finally have a resource that takes the business perspective.
Hallmark Featues:
- Cross-Functional Presentation: Supply chain management is presented as a boundary-spanning function; and therefore, the text includes coverage of relevant business units, including marketing, operations, sourcing, and logistics, showing their integration with and impact on supply chain management.
- Managerial Focus: Intertwined with cutting edge and successful business practices, the text provides examples of supply chain management as the core of successful companies and the driver of best business practices.
- Technology Focus: The text features the latest technologies that support supply chain management, along with business examples that illustrate its role in this functional area.
