The new edition complements underlying basics of logistics and supply chain management with the latest issues challenging our industry from a hands-on perspective. It's not a book for the bookshelf, it's a book for the briefcase."" * Dr Elizabeth Jackson, Curtin University, Australia and Regional Editor (Australasia) of International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications * ""This 8th edition of Global Logistics, is a well-timed publication.
