E-Books →Marketing and the Customer Value Chain Integrating Marketing and Supply Chain Management

Key aspects of supply chain management are discussed in detail, including material handling, unit load, handling systems, and equipment, as well as warehousing and transportation, design, and packaging. The book then goes on to explore the marketing functions of intangible products (services), followed by a focus on B2B markets. Throughout, there is a strong emphasis on the optimization and maximization of the value chain through the development of a systems approach with a market-orientation. Pedagogy that translates theory to practice is embedded throughout, including theoretical mini-cases, chapter-by-chapter objectives, and summaries.
Marketing and the Customer Value Chainwill help advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students appreciate how front-end marketing can interface with the back-end operations of supply chain management.
