Living Supply Chains:
How to mobilize the enterprise around delivering what your customers want.
FT Prentice Hall, London 2006
Despite the accumulated body of knowledge and practical experience of the last
50 years, we are still largely ignorant about the underlying mechanisms at work
in corporate logistics networks, and by extension, supply chains.
This continuing situation is leading to diminished or unfulfilled performance
at best, and large-scale failures of transformational programs at worst, all evident
in the pages of the world's business and financial Press on a daily basis.
Living Supply Chains has been nominated by the publisher FT Pearson, for the FT Goldman Sachs Global Business Book Award, and the MCA/Management Today Best Management Book Award. |
The missing 'ingredient' in this whole-of-enterprise performance equation
is the pivotal role played by humans, both on the outside (in the form of customers/end
users/consumers), and on the inside (in the form of Boards, management and employees).
However, simply knowing more about human behaviour in vacuo is not enough;
rather, it is the linkages and interactions between the 'hard' tangible assets
and resources of an enterprise, and the 'softer' human side that must be more
fully comprehended and operationalised.
This book is designed to fill the void in our knowledge by providing
a robust framework that links customers/markets, operational strategy, cultural
capability, and the leadership style of the enterprise.
