Transforming Government Supply Chain Management

While the commercial sector has been rapidly adopting modern information-based supply chain systems-in order to remain competitive in the worldwide marketplace-the shift to such systems in the public sector has met with significant resistance and has moved far more slowly. <I>Transforming Government Supply Chain Management</I> provides the insights and expertise to overcoming this inertia. In the first half of the book the editors provide a primer on supply chain management an overview of innovative practices and tools and a blueprint for government-wide transformation. The second half consists of 10 case studies of public and private sector success stories.
