In this summary you will learn

  • Why technology is vital to supply chain logistics
  • Why logistics are vital to business
  • Why automation has more to do with thinking and seeing than with machines
  • How innovation and infrastructure affect supply chains

Why you should read Chain Reaction

Robert Malone uses his deep knowledge of modern worldwide logistics to help you understand what has happened to your supply chain. He analyzes the issues that businesses face and uses corporate examples to illustrate his points. He presents the material within each chapter as a series of short, two or three paragraph articles. This contributes to a somewhat impressionistic style, but getAbstract finds that the overall effect is quite interesting and informative. If you need to get a handle on the modern supply chain and the logistics it entails, this is a useful take on the subject.
