The management functions of physical distribution, procurement and production are examined in a global context. Management of these activities must reflect the major structural changes taking place in the world. Increasing growth in international trade heightens the level of international purchasing and logistics activities, demanding that the future manager exploit global sourcing and production opportunities and configure a supply chain management system that provides excellent, cost-effective service on a world-wide basis. Both theoretical and practical approaches are applied to the wide array of topics in global manufacturing, sourcing and distribution.
