Strategic Supply Management Revisited

In his 2007 best-selling book, Strategic Supply Management, Robert Trent presented concepts, processes, tools, best practices, and a framework for creating a supply management organization that would provide a reliable source of supply and competitive advantage. While the majority of that body of knowledge is still very relevant a decade later, it is no longer sufficient to effectively manage the supply networks and supply chains of today and over the next decade. This book introduces a new set of essential supply management concepts, strategies, and practices that are an integral part of surviving and thriving in this unprecedented era of rapid change and disruption.
