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. |
