Addressing this complex topic, Alan Branch's new book fulfills two clear objectives: Until now, no book dedicated to international logistics and supply chain management was available. Practically-oriented, this book features numerous case studies and diagrams from logistic operators. An ideal resource for management students, academics and managers who need a succinct treatment of global operations, Branch's book skillfully illustrates his ideas in practice. It is a book which should be on the shelf of every practitioner and student of the subject. Also available from Routledge: Alan E. Branch. (978-0-415-36286-3) , Alan E. Branch. (978-0-748-73986-8)
