Industry Reviews

"This updated second edition deals with a wide range of complex issues in a straightforward style. The book benefits from the author's many years of experience as a global logistics expert. This knowledge and insight has been brought together into a single volume that will be extremely valuable for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the complex forces for change affecting global logistics." * Michael Browne, Professor of Logistics and Urban Freight Transport, University of Gothenburg *
"Global logistics capabilities have been a foundation of the huge growth in world trade and economic activity in the emerging economies. The downturn of 2008/9 has heralded a new era of regional trade and changing business models, alongside continued intercontinental trade. This book, from a world expert, unravels and explains the massive complexity of services, segments, geographies and technologies that will be needed to adapt to a new normal. It will be a huge help in anchoring their thinking." * Alan Braithwaite, Chairman, LCP Consulting and Visiting Professor, Cranfield School of Management *
