Overview

Supply Chain Analysis: A Handbook on the Interaction of Information, System, and Optimization is a carefully developed work focused on the analysis of supply chain interaction issues in emerging markets and industry sectors. It is a leading-edge handbook that will emphasize where little work has been done and where the “rubber meets the road” – the supply chain process, information, and systems integration. These are pertinent issues facing practitioners and researchers in today’s business environment. This is a gap-bridging handbook that analyzes interaction issues from both the research and practitioner sides. The result is a volume that examines and provides practical solutions on interaction issues while being firmly grounded in research principles.

Every chapter is, in fact, a well thought-out article about subjects that really ! should, take up an entire book by themselves. ! this book is successful initiative towards taking a more scientific approach to supply chain management, without losing track of practical usefulness. (Supply Chain Movement, October, 2009) 'Supply Chain Analysis: A Handbook on the Interaction of Information, System and Optimisation' is an informative and wide-ranging collection of supply chain analysis research in line with Springer's series of titles on this subject. ! Several chapters use more descriptive and qualitative investigation techniques to covey the issues of their particular problem. A number of studies combine both approaches in a very informative way. ! it is an interesting collection for those interested in the analysis of supply chains. (H.
