About HBR
Harvard Business Review is a general management magazine published since 1922 by Harvard Business School Publishing, owned by the Harvard Business School. A monthly research-based magazine written for business practitioners, it claims a high ranking business readership and enjoys the reverence of academics, executives, and management consultants. It has been the frequent publishing home for well known scholars and management thinkers, among them Clayton M. Christensen, Peter F. Drucker, Michael E. Porter, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Gary Hamel, C.K. Prahalad, Robert S. Kaplan, and others. Management and business concepts and terms such as "Balanced scorecard," "Core competence," "Strategic intent," "Reengineering," "Globalization," "Marketing myopia," and "Glass ceiling" were first given prominence in HBR's pages. Its worldwide English-language circulation is 240,000, and there are 11 licensed editions of the magazine, including two Chinese-language editions, a German edition, and an English-language South Asia edition. The magazine is editorially independent of Harvard Business School. It is not peer reviewed.

Harvard Business Review on Supply Chain Management November 6, 2006
James William Martin (Boston/ Providence)
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I thought the book presented several interesting examples through eight papers covering various supply chain topics. Several of the papers have appendices with very useful information. This is a good book to take on a plane and read on one or two flights. But, subsequent research would be required to obtain the details necessary to actually implement the concepts.
Great to generate strategies March 12, 2009

The book gives good strategies, which the reader can find more literature if they would like to pursue. If you are looking for a quick read to stimulate ideas, choose this book. If you are seasoned in modern supply chain strategies, you may want to find something with a little more meat.
