Reviews
"Against a background of global competition. Gourdin discussed alternatives and opportunities arising from developments in such areas as transportation, communication, electronic data interchange and so on, and with real-life examples demonstrates how individual activities are woven together to form an integrated logistics system..... As a comprehensive grounding or timely update, this book will be particularly useful to practising managers and graduate and postgraduate students." Times Higher Education Supplement "It is current; it reads very well; it is well written; it covers logistics from a global perspective very well; it is perfect in length; the study questions refer back to the text; the students should find reading the text enjoyable, not a chore; the profiles are applicable and current." David J Bloomberg, Western Illinois University . "The book's strengths are that it is easy to read with a wide range of examples covering different parts of the world; it has comprehensive coverage of main logistics levels at the operational level; it provides a good introduction to some general management issues that impact on logistics (e.g. ABC analysis, corporate strategy, etc); and there are plenty of references for further reading. I would recommend the book to students as a useful introduction to the operational aspects of logistics, together with interesting examples of logistics developments taken from the commercial world."
