Synopsis:

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; and coverage of most state-of-the-art business practices in supply chain management.
