Description

Handfield and Linton use the physical concept of flow as a metaphor for the current revolution in supply chain management: the integration of supply chains and the geographic relocation of global supply base. The book analyzes business strategies for such major topics as world events, global supply chains, smart technologies, global market policies, tariffs, pandemic response, outsourcing, and data. FLOW is an important resource for successful management teams.
