"This book will become a standard work for understanding how extremely important logistics management is to run a business, especially in times of hypercompetition in a complex market. Strategic Logistics Management's approach, starting with an understanding of logistics management and then transitioning into how to strategically put the theory into practice, makes the book a must-read for both company and retail management. After reading the book, I can only agree with Erik about what he writes in the preface: 'In particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the intersection between strategic management theory on the one hand and logistics and supply chain management practice on the other.'" * Arne B Andersson, Senior E-Commerce Advisor, Swedish Trade (Svensk Handel), Sweden * "This book covers various aspects of logistics management succinctly and elucidates how logistics management can bring competitive advantage to organizations in dynamic business environments. Viewing various aspects of logistics through the lenses of organizational theories brings interesting perspectives. Emerging issues like resilience and circularity have also been covered. This book explains the existing body of knowledge of logistics management in a very lucid way." * Dr. Abhijit Majumdar, Chair Professor (Decision Science), Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India * "It is refreshing to see a supply chain textbook with a strategic management focus and a practical business model perspective involving stakeholders across the supply chain. These insights will be valuable for both academia and industry." * Prof. Dr. Helen Rogers, Research Professor, Technische Hochschule Nürnberg/Ohm University, Germany * "Strategic Logistics Management by Erik Sandberg is a must-read for professionals seeking to understand the true strategic power of logistics. Sandberg masterfully bridges the gap between traditional logistics and cutting-edge strategic management theory, demonstrating how companies can outperform competitors through superior logistics capabilities. With a balance of theoretical insight and practical application, this book offers invaluable tools for scholars and business leaders alike." * Dr. Carlos Mena, Daimler Endowed Professor of Supply Chain Management, Portland State University, USA * "Logistics and supply chain management have now moved to centre stage in those organizations that seek to gain competitive advantage in a world of constant change and increasing uncertainty. The author of this insightful book has recognized the need for a systematic and structured approach to the development of a strategy that leverages logistics and supply chain management competencies and provides practical guidance on how this can be achieved." * Martin Christopher, Emeritus Professor of Marketing and Logistics, Cranfield University, UK * "Very relieving to see a textbook (re-)focusing on the concept of logistics management which, in recent years, has almost faded into the all-encompassing term supply chain management (SCM). By approaching logistics management from a corporate strategy perspective, we are - among other things - reminded about the big, global companies who include logistics as a fundamental part of their business models, such as Ikea and Amazon. We had almost forgotten about the basis of SCM, including the materials and information flows." * Britta Gammelgaard, Professor, Supply Chain Management, University of South Denmark, Denmark *
