SCM starter

Early MBA level.If you are in business and looking for a place to start ...Here it is!

Great Primer!

If you're looking for a place to start to understand Supply Chain Management--this is the book. The authors, who have done an outstanding job on the research--lots of research, have explained in a very down to earth and articulate way--the great need for SCM, the challenges, the roadmap to begin the journey, and what the future holds. A great "why to and how to book".

Good Introduction to SCM

The book provides an introduction to SCM. The three parts on information and material flows and partnerships cover basic issues of SCM well, but stay brief as intended by the authors. The separation of the three issues works out well. Still, the integration and interdependence of material and information flows might be presented clearer. The management of partnerships addresses a different conceptual framework, that really makes the difference of SCM to traditional relations to suppliers or customers. Students or managers looking for a first introduction to SCM will benefit from the book. Being concise always means to neglect certain aspects. Still, the covered topics provide the introduction, the book aims for. I plan to adopt parts of it for a course in SCM.
