In the hopes of speeding up the implementation of information-based Supply chain systems in the public sector, this volume presents ten case studies illustrating their successful use in the private sector. The case studies have been reviewed by senior industry and government leaders, who then identify current barriers to more rapid government implementation and make recommendations for overcoming them. The volume does not contain an index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
