Review :
"This book provides valuable insights in the important role of transport as a facilitator of trade and economic development. Managing global supply chains becomes increasingly complex and requires integration and coordination of processes across the globe. The book discusses the role of A.P. Moller - Maersk, the world's largest container shipping firm, in connecting developing countries, such as Vietnam, to developed countries. The reader gets an up-to-date description of Maersk's container business in South East Asia, as well as a profound analysis of the effects of Maersk's investments in building container terminals and integrating global production processes. I recommend it for students of international economics and supply chain management as well as for practitioners."Professor Tage Skjott-Larsen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
