Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"The editors have aimed to capture a segment of recent research activity in supply chain management. … The research is based on a wide range of studies, including retailing, a logistics provider, service facility location and the design of production – distribution networks. … There are nuggets of information in the book … . The relevance of the book lies in the pulling together of important research." (Brian Farrington, Supply Management, March, 2006)
