The essential textbook for understanding logistics as a strategic driver of business success.
Strategic Logistics Management by Erik Sandberg provides postgraduate students with the analytical tools and conceptual frameworks needed to explore logistics through a strategic lens. By bridging strategic management theory with logistics practice, this book equips readers to analyse and manage logistics as a driver of sustainable competitive advantage.
