Over the past two decades, not only has supply chain analysis
become a strategic focus of leading firms, it has also spawned an
impressive array of research that brings together diverse research
communities. Adding to this diversity and intellectual energy is
the emergence of E-Business. E-Business creates new competitive
dimensions that are fast-paced, ever-changing, and risk-prone,
dimensions where innovation, speed, and technological savvy often
define success. Most importantly, E-Business challenges the
premises and expands the scope of supply chain analysis. The
Handbook is a comprehensive research reference that is essential
for anyone interested in conducting research in supply chain.
Unique features include:
-A focus on the intersection of quantitative supply chain
analysis and E-Business,
-Unlike other edited volumes in the supply chain area, this is a
handbook rather than a collection of research papers. Each chapter
was written by one or more leading researchers in the area. These
authors were invited on the basis of their scholarly expertise and
unique insights in a particular sub-area,
-As much attention is given to looking back as to looking forward.
Most chapters discuss at length future research needs and research
directions from both theoretical and practical perspectives,
-Most chapters describe in detail the quantitative models used for
analysis and the theoretical underpinnings; many examples and case
studies are provided to demonstrate how the models and the
theoretical insights are relevant to real situations,
-Coverage of most state-of-the-art business practices in supply
chain management.
Audience: This volume is suitable for researchers, faculty,
graduate students, and practitioners in the following areas: supply
chain management, operations research, management science, decision
science, industrial engineering, operations management, civil
engineering/transportation, logistics management, risk management,
applied mathematics, economics, computer science, industrial
management, and other related areas.
