Existing supply chain management books focus on logistics, operations
management, and purchasing. Sanders provides supply chain managers with a
completely unique approach, presenting SCM from a balanced,
integrative, and business-oriented viewpoint. Rather than examining SCM
as an offshoot of other business functions, this book discusses it as a
boundary-spanning function that is intertwined with other organizational
functions. It contains extensive pedagogy and solved problems to make
difficult concepts easy to understand. A rich set of current examples
are also included to make the material more relevant. Supply chain
managers will finally have a resource that takes the business
perspective.
