As supply chains become increasingly digitized and underpinned by technology, who can afford not to read this book?!" * Dr. Sinead Roden, Associate Professor in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin * "Given the general aspiration for improved productivity, a book like this which so carefully considers, from a practitioner and theoretical perspective, the impact of 'e-business' applications and the critical 'integration' challenges of implementing technological solutions is highly relevant at this time." * Stephen Hickman, Programme Director BSc Business, University of Exeter Business School, UK * "An excellent read for the practitioner or academic giving deep insight into e-business and supply chain strategies.
