Logistics and supply chain management

by Martin Christopher (2005)

About this book

"In this book, Martin Christopher develops the idea that competition is no longer between stand-alone companies, but rather supply chain against supply chain." "This practical guide provides information on auditing logistics systems and describes how greater responsiveness in the supply chain can be achieved through lead time reduction. Informative case-studies from a wide range of industries and markets illustrate the points discussed."--Jacket.

V. Kasturi Rangan with Marie Bell

"In Transforming Your Go-to-Market Strategy, V. Kasturi Rangan demonstrates that any member of a distribution channel can adopt the role of steward - and shape an effective, constantly evolving, and mutually beneficial channel strategy." "Through case studies drawn from a wide variety of industries, Rangan presents the three disciplines that channel stewards must master to navigate the complex distribution environment successfully. In addition, Rangan provides tested techniques that will enable companies to manage multiple channels, integrate the Internet into a powerful channel strategy, and overcome common barriers that impede channel transformation."

Kirk's experience across a range of industries brings a unique understanding of common opportunities and solutions available to optimize distribution processes.
