About the Book :-
Supply Chain Architecture: A Blueprint for Networking the Flow of Material, Information, and Cash applies five crucial business principles to solve network problems for geographically separated workers who must team together to deliver products and services.
These five principles--Velocity, Variability, Vocalize, Visualize, and Value--simplify the design and operation of complex, real-world supply chain networks for broad use throughout the manufacturing and service sectors. Written by an accomplished practitioner in common sense language, this "how to" book provides a complete blueprint for transforming marginal business relationships into exceptionally competitive networks.
The author clearly explains how a supply chain network's competitiveness is defined by the integration of network design, the product Bill of Materials, and the network operations, not by a particular technology solution. This volume inspires you to see beyond the confines of your organization to unlock the competitive energy of end-to-end supply chain networks. It offers complete coverage of important topics that have previously received little attention, including the implementation of global performance measures, planning at the interface between push and pull operations, minimization of velocity traps, and paralleling cash-to-cash cycles.

DESCRIPTION:-
What do business organisations do?
The results of business behaviour can be seen and experienced in the form of the goods that are produced. However, what goes on within organisations is often hidden from the outside world. Taking a systems and process perspective, this book demonstrates that any business is a number of interrelated processes whose success is determined by the extent to which these activities add value whilst minimising cost. The book focuses on:
* activities through which the organisation interacts with its customers, including marketing and sales
* how organisations process materials including purchasing and manufacturing
* forms of business organisation, with a critical account of new paradigms including Business Process Re-engineering.
The book features articles by leading business gurus including Michael Porter, Philip Kotler and John Kay.

About the Book :-
In recent years, concerns over the effectiveness of public administration have encouraged the widespread measurement and management of ‘performance’. But is performance management an appropriate model for public sector organizations, and has it proved successful? Moreover, how do the principles of performance management affect how public bodies operate, and the way they relate to the wider community?
In this important text, the viability of performance management in public sector organizations is systematically assessed across a number of international case studies. The book provides a framework through which models of performance management can be understood in terms of both their impact within a public sector organization, and the effects that have been seen in countries with contrasting administrational contexts.
Managing Performance – International Comparisons critically examines the effects of performance management models in the public sector, and assesses their future evolution. It is an important book for all students and researchers with an interest in management, public administration and public policy.
Contents :-
1. What is Performance Management? 2. Performance and Management: Approaches to Analysis 3. Performance Management: Context and Explanations 4. Performance Administration 5. Managements of Performance 6. Performance Management 7. Accountability and Performance 8. Performance Management: Critique and Evaluation 9. Managing Performance
