About this book

xv Global Supply Chain: General Strategies and Framework There are five chapters on the general strategies and framework. In "On the Globalization of Operations and Supply Chain Strategies - A Conceptual Framework and its Applications," Panos Kouvelis and Julie Niederhoff de­ scribe the forces that shape globalization and a framework to develop strate­ gies. The authors illustrate how the framework can be used with the case of Acrilan, an acrylic fiber manufacturer. As the emerging economies begin to mature, and the supply and demand points in a supply chain begin to shift, companies need to re-optimize the de­ sign of their global supply chain, so as to make the best use of their global resources. This is the subject of "Globalization and Emerging Markets: The Challenge of Continuous Global Network Optimization," by Peter Koudal and Douglas A. Engel. Many emerging economies have lower direct labor costs, and are so attrac­ tive offshoring locations. But there could be many hidden costs. The decision to offshore has to be based on a sound comprehensive analysis of the total landed costs, the tradeoffs of associated risks, and the business strategies of the company. David Pyke provides us with the approach to tackle this deci­ sion, and share with us his personal experience in helping companies to make such decisions, in his chapter titled "Shanghai or Charlotte? The Decision to Outsource to China and Other Low Cost Countries.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book contains some of the papers presented at … conference and other contributions on supply chain issues in other developing economies. … It should be of great relevance to practicing managers, management professors, and students globally. Hau Lee and Chung-Yee Lee are to be congratulated on bringing out this fine and useful book." (Jamshed A. Modi, Interfaces, Vol. 37 (6), 2007)

“This book is to provide a sense of the high complexity of the management of global supply chains involving emerging economies. … wide variety of inputs in terms of operational scenarios and managerial solutions, which will surely help practitioners in developing supply chain strategies and solutions and stimulate academics with issues and themes to be further developed. … From an academic perspective this book provides interesting insights on supply chain approaches and strategies and on specific features of local contexts in emerging markets … .” (Alessandro Pagano, Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing, Vol. 15 (3), 2008)
