Living Supply Chains, How To Mobilize The Enterprise Around Delivering What Your Customers Want, John Gattorna
Your business will be over-servicing some customers, and under-servicing others. The problem is that we generally don't know which is which. Living Supply Chains will help you re-focus your entire enterprise - people, processes and technology - around meeting the needs of the right customers with the right responses.
It is all about understanding more about customer's expectations, so that you'll have a better chance of understanding how they wish to buy your products or services. Ultimately, you'll be in a better position to provide the exact response they desire. Through the dynamic alignment model, this book provides a structured way of linking customer expectations to the operational side of your enterprise, and systematically modifying fulfillment processes as customers change their buying preferences - as they surely will.

Trust- the best way to manage Reinhard K Sprenger, Cyan / Campus 2004
This release from the renowned European management expert Reinhard Sprenger steers away from the concept of trust as a warm and fuzzy notion that we save for family and friends, and squarely confronts the notion that trust is a necessary foundation for individuals and organisations to maximise their potential over time. The book is constructed in a very logical and ordered manner and deals progressively with the concepts of Why Trust? What is Trust? and How do I show Trust?, avoiding the trap of immediately taking a position that trust is good, and therefore mistrust is bad, preferring to explore the true value of trust across a variety of circumstances.

Supply Chain Cybermastery Andrew J. Berger and John L. Gattorna, Gower 2001
Supply Chain Cybermastery is inspired by the eCommerce revolution, which has changed the world forever and reignited interest in the supply chain as a source of wealth creation. Chief executives and their management teams must re-invent themselves and adjust their leadership and management styles to cope with the new realities. Indeed, some are already emulating companies like Sun, Cisco, Intel, Oracle and Microsoft to get their more traditional multinationals back on the growth agenda. Their new focus is the supply chain and enabling technology, both areas previously delegated to functional specialists.
