Book Review: Logistics Management and Strategy

Logistics Management and Strategy by Alan Harrison and Remko van Hoek does come at very hefty price, but it is so much worth it. I have found it hard to find a book that explains the concepts of logistics and supply chain management in a clearer fashion than this book. Every chapter features a number of case studies in which the theory is discussed in-depth. In addition the figures and illustrations are clear cut and easy to understand. A must have for both student and practitioner.

Better than Christopher?

I prefer this book to Logistics and Supply Chain Management by Martin Christopher. That said, while Christopher’s book has lesser compelling graphics and looks less like a textbook, it is one of the very few supply chain textbooks that deal with supply chain risk. In fact, I cannot remember any other textbook on  supply chain or logistics that deal with supply chain risk, except for Logistics and Supply Chain Management by Martin Christopher.
