Product Description
Transportation Management – A South African Perspective (2nd edition)
Authors: W Engelbrecht, P Ramgovind
Format: Physical Hardcopy
The current economic climate, evolving business needs and the introduction of disruptive technologies 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 a strategic component 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 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 provides an overview of the Southern African Development Community’s (SADC) contribution to 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 in higher education about decolonising content.
Willy Engelbrecht (PhD) has 12 years of experience in teaching and learning, research and management at public and private higher education institutions. His research interest is diverse and transdisciplinary in nature with publications in both international and local journals.
Priya Ramgovind holds a Bachelor of Business Science in Finance and Supply Chain Management, a Master of Commerce in Supply Chain Management, a Postgraduate Diploma in Higher Education and is currently a PhD candidate. She contributes to academic research and is involved in the development of academic supply chain management qualifications and material.
