In his debut poetry collection, Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse,
David Perez takes snapshots of a world under collapse to show us
the parts worth saving. His images activate a new way of seeing.
The mundane is no longer insignificant- the nightmare no longer
insufferable. Animated and imaginative, the poems salvage memories
from the wreckage of the Challenger disaster, drink shots with the
poltergeist haunting the local dive bar, and resurrect the wisdom
in the harsh words of departed lovers. At times, Perez is terse and
pragmatic. Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse beckons us into dark
corners in ways that let our eyes adjust, revealing a splendor we
would have otherwise surely missed.
The book answers a recurring question in the business today: What
is the best supply chain strategy for my business? Answering this
question is difficult, because it is not easy to understand the
multiples relationships among the supply chain and the business
strategy, In order to address this shortcoming, the author
conducted an analysis of the most widely recognized theories, best
practices and case studies about supply chain strategy. His
analysis identified a set of common configurations that reveal key
drivers of supply chain strategy and explains how these can be
aligned in a coherent strategy. These findings are summarized in a
strategy formulation method called the Supply Chain Roadmap (r),
which provides: Understandings of the interrelation among
industry's competitive framework, competitive positioning of the
business, and, supply chain processes. A compilation of 42 key
factors of a supply chain strategy, which are represented on a
graphical diagram on a single page, called The Map. The
characterisation of the supply chain strategies most widely used in
the industry, the 6 Supply Chain Archetypes Efficient, Fast,
Continuous-Flow, Agile, Custom-Configured, and Flexible. About the
book The book provides everything the reader need to know about
supply chain strategy and how to ensure the alignment of the supply
chain with business strategy. This is not a conventional supply
chain's book, this is a practical handbook that guides you step by
step in the analysis and formulation of supply chain strategy. Book
is very easy to read and graphically superior to most business
books -book is a full color and includes more than 75 figures-. The
book is organized in three sections: * Section 1: Introduction, in
which concepts about strategy and supply chain and the theoretical
fundamentals behind the Supply Chain Roadmap method are explained:

of the supply chain management from the perspective of the business
strategy, is useful for business leaders, managers, consultants,
students (undergraduate or graduate of Industrial Engineering,
Business, Supply Chain, and similar), and all those interested in
improving the competitiveness of organization
Siempre, en mis conversaciones con el autor, acabo herido por sus
alegres pasiones llenas de incomodas tristezas, por sus silencios
impasibles enfermos de esperanza, por sus puntos de vista que aun
siempre limitando con lo sordido, permanecen mas proximos a los
vestigios de una civilizacion venidera que a la actual decadencia.
Tambien se, por esas veladas entre amigos, que, como Stendhal,
diriase escribe para criaturas del futuro, tal es su extenuacion de
las vulgaridades circundantes. Y si un buen poema es aquel que nos
permite ser un poco mas descreidos, al tiempo que nos refuerza con
las ocultas cadencias del mundo en una complicidad tacitamente
inasible; si un buen poema distorsiona la realidad todo lo posible
para que el lector pueda reconstruirla con sus propias palabras,
entonces estamos, con este poemario, ante el reto de dilucidar
nuestros propios avatares y quimeras, porque en este libro el autor
se congratula en considerar que las indignidades que socaban el
mundo son igual de humanas que los meritos que lo sostienen y por
eso sus poemas intentan dignificarlas sin protegerlas, hacerlas
visibles, sin rencores, para reconquistarlas. M.H.G.
