Supply Chain Management is an emerging discipline in the business world, and one that requires collaboration and understanding of operations, purchasing, and logistics. This textbook is an introductory text meant to help you learn the basics of each of these fields so that you can be prepared to collaborate and create value up and down the supply chain.

    The course reader looks great on desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, and just about any other device. Students are able to read, watch, and listen how, where, and when they want.

  • Embedded, Customizable Assessments

    Your students complete assessments inline with the text, making for a seamless, engaging experience. As the instructor, you can customize existing assessments or create entirely new ones within the text.
