From the reviews:"The authors of ‘Supply Chain Analysis’ collected twelve academic articles that discuss specific branches (supermarkets, chemicals, cosmetics, containers, clothing and second-hand goods) and that view topical themes … in a academic and sometimes mathematical context. Every chapter is, in fact, a well thought-out article about subjects that really … should, take up an entire book by themselves. … this book is successful initiative towards taking a more scientific approach to supply chain management, without losing track of practical usefulness." (Supply Chain Movement, October, 2009)“‘Supply Chain Analysis: A Handbook on the Interaction of Information, System and Optimisation’ is an informative and wide-ranging collection of supply chain analysis research in line with Springer’s series of titles on this subject. … Several chapters use more descriptive and qualitative investigation techniques to covey the issues of their particular problem. A number of studies combine both approaches in a very informative way. … it is an interesting collection for those interested in the analysis of supply chains.” (H. Daly, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61, 2010)
