Supply Chain Disruption
Kogan Page Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-7494-8410-1 (ISBN)
Disruptive technologies have the power to upend supply chains, adding uncertainty, cost, and complexity to any business. These technologies can also create competitive advantage, but only if organizations strategically build them into their supply chains.
Supply Chain Disruption, with a foreword by John Gattorna, provides the vital knowledge that supply chain managers need in order to implement disruptive technologies strategically. This essential book avoids a one-size-fits-all approach and encourages the reader to consider customer needs first before aligning appropriate technologies with each supply chain application.
Supply Chain Disruption focuses on information systems, analysing how companies currently integrate and implement potentially disruptive technologies into their supply chain roadmaps. It presents new ways of planning more effectively and efficiently through the use of new tools and techniques, creating improvements in agility, customer service and cost.

"Steve provides an insightful means for viewing disruption of supply chains from a number of different perspectives. Those of us that deal with supply chains can also learn from Steve's ideas on building organizational resilience to be able to effectively manage the effects of the inevitability of disruption. Supply chain specialists will need a full quiver to deal with disruption in an uncertain world."
"Steve has combined astute insight with extensive global experience to produce a most timely, erudite and well-crafted book, which is essential reading for supply chain professionals. He delves wide and deep, often into uncharted waters, and provides strong evidence to show how the roots of supply chain disruption can be identified, its impact ameliorated, and what tactics and strategy to employ."
"Today's supply chains are often global, they are also highly inter-connected, and as a result of out-sourcing, external dependencies have increased dramatically. Consequently, the potential for supply chain disruption is now significant. In this timely and readable book, Steve O'Sullivan highlights the challenges facing organisations as they seek to manage risk across their supply chains and suggests ways to navigate through uncertain times."
"As companies become more interconnected in the global economy, our supply chains become more vulnerable to disruption. Steve O'Sullivan's book gives us a detailed look at the role of supply chain management in the success - and failure - of companies, military campaigns, and nations. But, more importantly, O'Sullivan's book provides research-based insights into strategies and tactics that today's business leaders can use to align their supply chains and turn disruptions into opportunities'."
"Steve's accomplished background offers a unique perspective on supply chain disruption including how he describes the tension between strategy, risk, humanism, and politics. His point of view clearly articulates the strategic and tactical why-what-how with strong explanation of the essential features of strategy, and the importance of regulatory systems. If you're looking for thought leadership in the field that is grounded in leading research, practical experience, and lessons learned from a leader in Supply Chain, look no further. I highly recommend."
