Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain Management by Bidur Dhaul, Enver Yucesan

---

Book Summary:

Enver Yücesan and Bidur Dhaul present an exceptionally lucid and sophisticated framework to help sales teams understand modern global supply chains. This book explores key principles to offer a clear guide to operational excellence. The authors regard the supply chain as an ecosystem inhabited by various rational, yet independent stakeholders whose cooperation often must be managed informally. To meet such challenges, Yücesan and Dhaul marshal ideas rooted in their formidable experience as practitioners and scholars. In fact, one of this book’s strengths is how it synthesizes diverse information to connect the quantitative aspects of supply chain management with the collaborative knowledge needed for superior operations. Generously supported by practical examples, the text is an invaluable resource for salespeople—or anyone—seeking to understand supply chain better.
