Edward Sweeney of NITL has signed an agreement with Blackhall Publishing in Dublin for publication of a new book – Supply Chain Management and Logistics in a Volatile Global Environment. This follows on from the publication by Blackhall in 2007 of Perspectives on Supply Chain Management and Logistics: Creating Competitive Organisations in the 21st Century.

The title of the new volume reflects the volatility in the current economic and business environment and the potential role of SCM and logistics in addressing some of these challenges. NITL is delighted to have assembled a group of leading international academics who will contribute chapters to the new book. These include Prof. Martin Christopher, Prof. Richard Wilding, Prof. Alan McKinnon and Prof. John Gattorna. These and other contributors have all collaborated with NITL over the past decade. Their contributions will be based on leading edge thinking and research in their respective fields but aimed squarely at a largely practitioner readership.
