Synopsis
This second edition of Marketing Logistics builds on the unique focus established in the first edition - the crucial interface between the ways in which value is created through marketing processes and the way in which it is delivered through the supply chain.
This interface is being recognized by business organizations as a key priority for management, and both practitioners and academics alike have placed a greater emphasis on the need to view the supply chain as a whole as the vehicle by which competitive advantage is achieved.
The book:
* Builds on the huge success of the first edition
* Incorporates a new customer service element, in line with current thinking
* Contains a full range of industry examples offering practical insight
As well as drawing upon current research and the experience of firms worldwide, Marketing Logistics uses numerous 'mini-cases' and vignettes to illustrate the key messages in each chapter and bring the theory to life.
This book is an invaluable resource for managers who seek to understand more about the way in which the supply chain should be managed to improve their organization's competitive position, as well as students undertaking degree-level courses in marketing, logistics and supply chain management.
