Reviews

'...covers in full detail all the aspects that should be addressed by any logistics contract. In fact, I am convinced that this book will help many of its readers to consider issues that might otherwise have been forgotten. Years of experience designing, negotiating and drafting logistics contracts are condensed in this fine piece of work that will soon become a reference for all European Logistics Directors.' - Federico Sabria, Professor, IESE Business School, University of Navarra, Spain
