Filled with hands-on solutions to the challenges of global commerce, the book covers:

  • reasons to (or not to) source globally
  • measuring the risks versus those of other sourcing alternatives
  • how to reduce landed costs
  • compliance management and new Customs and Homeland Security issues
  • insurance, liability, and loss control
  • and much more

    A must-have resource for all sourcing, supply chain, risk management. and import/export professionals, the book features tools for creating a comprehensive program to ensure competitive advantage while avoiding the pitfalls that can undermine even powerful businesses and seasoned supply chain veterans.
