In today's global economy, supply chains are an essential ingredient to corporate survival and growth. Operations strategy in supply chains must assume an ever-expanding and strategic role of risks that modern enterprises face when they operate in an interdependent supply chain environment. These operational and strategic facets entail a brand new set of operational problems and risks that have not always been understood or managed very well. It falls to supply chain managers to identify and to educate corporate managers on what these critical operational problems and risks involve. Supply Chain Games: Operations Management and Risk Valuation provides business students and practitioners with the means to understand, to model and to analyze these outstanding issues and problems that are the essential elements in managing supply chains today.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book examines traditional operational problems expressed in a strategic and inter-temporal context that recognises the complexity and interdependency of firms in a supply-chain environment. Application examples, extensively used throughout the book, illustrate all the aspects of dealing with and solving such kinds of problems, and make it suitable for students in logistics, risk engineering and economics as well as business school graduates and practitioners . ."
