"With the ongoing supply chain crisis resulting from COVID-19, one might have thought that John Manners-Bell and Ken Lyon would have to rewrite their 2018 first edition of Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation. In reality, events have confirmed the importance of the key issues already covered in their 2018 edition. Without the technological and organizational advances we have seen in logistics over the last decade and analyzed in the book, COVID-19 would have had a far worse negative impact on global trade and supply chains. In their second edition, the authors eloquently update the reader on key developments in supply chain models, technologies, digitalization, sustainability imperatives, and markets. The reader is guided through the recent past towards an outlook and future directions. A timely book, which will be important for policy makers and practitioners who have become ever more aware of the crucial importance of supply chains for today's trade and development."
