PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN: Fundamental and Strategic Overview

Pharmaceutical Supply Chain: Fundamental and Strategic Overview is a book that examines the importance of strong pharmaceutical supply chain capabilities in a rapidly growing global economy. It focuses on the integration of traditional, new, and hybrid concepts in the complex structure of supply chain management, especially in the fast-paced pharmaceutical industry where product strategy, life cycles, and distribution require high agility. The book is designed for supply chain managers, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students, and covers topics centred on economic cycles, sustainable development, and new forces in the global economy. It is an introductory text that assumes no previous knowledge of logistics or experience of management and takes a broad view of covering all types of organisation. The book is practical, straightforward, and informative, presenting ideas in an easy-to-understand style, and illustrating principles by examples drawn from international organisations.
