Global Supply Chain Security and Management: Appraising Programs, Preventing Crimes examines the relationship between securing a supply chain and promoting more efficient worldwide trade.

In addition, it covers the critical roles that various technologies play, focusing on how Big Data is collected and turned into knowledge.
