About the Book

Twenty-first-century supply chains have evolved into world-wide inter-connected supply-and-demand networks comprising vastly more complex operations, with profound inter-dependencies and exposure to greater volatility in our uncertain world. The linear concept of a chain is therefore no longer adequate to describe these 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 - we are firmly in the era of Global Supply Chain Ecosystems. Exploring the latest market trends and industry developments across emerging, developing and developed markets, in Global Supply Chain Ecosystems industry leader Mark Millar presents detailed and practical insights that will help you capitalise on market opportunities, overcome supply chain challenges and make better informed business decisions. In addition to highlighting key supply chain shifts such as the move beyond globalisation back towards regionalisation, this ground-breaking new publication explores several critical aspects of global supply chain ecosystems - including visibility, resilience, sustainability and collaboration.

It provides both theoretical and practical advice on the management of these issues and belongs on the shelves of all serious supply chain practitioners." "Global Supply Chain Ecosystems by Mark Millar provides a multi-dimensional look at supply chains.

"The author takes both industry newbie and more experienced participant on a fast-paced, informative tour of some of the latest trends and industry developments that are affecting this industry segment, looking at how they impact emerging, developing and developed markets alike...Some of the examples given by the author are stunning in their own right and should encourage anyone who can to look over their processes."

It is commendable for retaining a strong focus on strategic issues throughout the text and for illustrating the points being made using a wealth of examples from Mark's experience.

Global Supply Chain Ecosystems is an ideal text for those following executive postgraduate and post-experience education programmes in SCM and related fields. It can also be read profitably by younger students and experienced managers alike." "A remarkable book exploring the latest global supply chain development.
