Global Supply Chain Security and Management examines the relationship between securing a supply chain and promoting more efficient worldwide trade. Historically, the primary goal of supply chain security was guarding against theft and damage. Today, supply chains are also on the front lines in the fight against terrorism.
Global Supply Chain Security and Management showcases industry leaders and their best practices, and explores how the government is both a policing organization and a supply chain partner. This book also explores the critical role various technologies play, focusing on how "Big Data" is collected and turned into knowledge.
By using the tools provided in Global Supply Chain Security and Management, readers will gain a stronger understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by any organization that imports or exports products.

- Leverages game theory to express the strategic interactions of government and business
