About this book

„From a practical business standpoint, case studies offer an excellent chance for preparing students of logistics for real-life decisions. With this approach, the book at hand promotes the application of conceptual knowledge and, in doing so, complements the existing standard works in logistics excellently.”
Jürgen Bock, Customer Supply Chain Director, L’Oreal Deutschland GmbH

„This book is a remarkably practice-oriented collection of case studies. The easily understandable case studies are exceptionally matched to modern learning concepts and enable students and those interested in continued learning easier access to logistics issues. Working through these case studies promotes independent problem solving in many logistics topics.’’
