Author: Donald Bowersox (Michigan State University)

Features: Supply Chain Logistics Management is exciting and promises to bolster traditional logistics courses and invigorate supply chain management courses by examining traditional logistics issues within the context of the supply chain. Most textbooks approach this subject from a limited perspective, studying only internal functions of an organization to the exclusion of issues that relate to the entire supply chain. Supply Chain Logistics Management provides a solid foundation that clearly describes the role of logistics within the supply chain, portraying a complete view of the subject and going far to show how all the pieces fit together. When studying the supply chain, most comparable books are limited to a company's internal control functions, whereas this book focuses on the entire supply chain and its various logistics components. Rooted in tradition yet innovative in content, it is meticulous yet easy to understand, making it a rare gem in the field. The original title is "Supply Chain Logistics Management."
