The Supply Chain Network Internet Speed: Preparing Your Company for the E-Commerce Revolution

Summary: Do you like nice little stories?
Review: The book does not deliver on what it promises. The structure is ok, and the goal of presenting different problems with solutions from different industries is good. But then, the book dives into telling little stories about unnamed CEOs, and how they reacted to their respective e-challenges. This setting tries to make the challenges more personal, and it even includes "The CEO's daughter's birthday".

Either you like this style, and then you will like the book, or it will set your teeth on edge.

Summary: Packed With Knowledge
Review: Wade through the technical jargon and dive directly into this deep pool of operational intelligence on the complexities of modern supply-chain management. Fred A. Kuglin and Barbara A. Rosenbaum provide step-by-step guidelines on how to put e-based solutions into effect throughout your supply chain to achieve cost effectiveness (that is, save money). Using the CEO's perspective, they describe a series of supply-chain approaches designed to address issues like capital requirements and production costs that drive company valuations. The book, which is forthrightly technical, is targeted to the CEO or high-level executive in charge of operations. We [...] highly recommend this book to this select audience, and commend the authors on their useful mix of charts, illustrations and dramatizations to illustrate supply-chain problems and solutions.
