    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2009; US$ 39.95

    Over the past decade organizations have faced relentless customer demand for better value at less cost, individual customization, greater choice, faster delivery, higher quality, exceptional service, and more recently – increased environmental and social consciousness. The organization’s weapon of choice  to address this increasing demand has been the supply chain. However, as the supply chain footprint changed (e.g. outsourcing, off-shoring and customer/vendor empowerment) so did the organization’s exposure to uncertainty.

As customers become more demanding and change occurs at an even greater pace,... more...

    Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 90.00

    The Contracting Organization offers a clear and accessible guide to the theory and practice of contracting.

  • Adapt or Dieby Claus Heinrich; Bob Betts

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 24.95

    Cut costs and control inventory an adaptive business network This book introduces the adaptive business network, a new method of business interaction that offers the ability to respond swiftly to changing market conditions, increase revenue growth, and lower overall cost. In Adapt or Die , the experts from SAP provide a thought-provoking road map to a new business world in which companies are linked together by uniform business processes and standardized software (uniform business processes and standardized software leaves me the impression of being rigid and inflexible, which is contrary to what were trying to say in the book). An adaptive business network allows companies to more precisely control inventory, quickly add or drop trading... more...
