Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself - "What do we do now that our supply chain has moved into the global arena?" Globalization has stretched supply chains and thus has introduced a variety of problems not present in purely domestic supply chains. Along with serious issues of security, many firms simply treat global supply chains as if they were a simple extension of the domestic model. This has caused unexpected problems including a general backlash against outsourcing, hidden costs, quality problems, and the difficulty of managing supply chains on a global basis. Help has arrived. This unique book traces the history of globalization and its impact on supply-chain management while also taking a detailed look at the problems and some of the solutions facing global supply chains today.
