Mark Millar’s book, Global Supply Chain Ecosystems, spells out the myriad supply chain challenges and opportunities facing today’s international executives.

In this FREE sample chapter, Mark explores how 21st century supply chains have evolved from relatively local and simple networks into worldwide interconnected supply-and-demand ones that comprise vastly more complex operations, with profound interdependencies and greater exposure to the volatility in our connected but uncertain world.

The linear concept of a chain is therefore no longer adequate to describe the complex international networks of suppliers, stakeholders, partners, regulators and customers that are involved in ensuring the efficient and effective movement of products, services, information and funds around the world.

Commissioned and published by London-based Kogan Page, the leading independent global publisher of specialist professional books, ‘Global Supply Chain Ecosystems’ is essential reading for all executives, managers, practitioners and students involved in logistics, supply chain management and international trade.
