The current economic
climate and evolving business needs necessitate the supply chain industry to
rethink strategies around transportation management, as it is the structural
glue that connects and binds communities to organisations and organisations to economies. Transportation management as an aspect of the supply
chain network ensures that the required material is delivered in the right
quantity and of the right quality to the right place at the right time. It is
dependent on infrastructure, processes and systems, together with human
resources, to function successfully within the wider supply chain industry. Transportation management: a
southern African perspective improves and expands on existing academic knowledge on
transportation management within the southern African landscape.
Transportation management: a southern
African perspective provides an overview of the
contribution made by the Southern African Development Community (SADC) towards
improving transportation management as part of its overall goal of increasing
opportunities for growth, given the economic, political and social challenges
facing this region. Written by
academics and industry experts, it contains practical case studies, revision
questions and examples to expand the text, as it attempts to address current
concerns within higher education pertaining to decolonising content.
Transportation management: a southern African
perspective is aimed at students studying
towards un undergraduate
degree with a core focus on either Supply Chain
Management, Logistics Management or Transport Economics.
