About Tony Hines and the Chain Reaction Podcast – All About Supply Chain Advantage
I have been researching and writing about supply chains for over 25 years. I wrote my first book on supply chain strategies in the early 2000s. The latest edition is published in 2024 available from Routledge, Amazon and all good book stores. Each week we have special episodes on particular topics relating to supply chains. We have a weekly news round up every Saturday at 12 noon...

Tony Hines:

Hello, tony Hines. Here you're listening to the Chain Reaction Podcast, all about supply chain advantage. Great to be here. Well, I'd like to tell you about my book. It's come out this year and it's Supply Chain Strategies, demand Driven and Customer Focused.

Tony Hines:

There are key features that make this book unique in its approach and, as well as being strategic in its focus, it also discusses the link between strategy and operations and, of course, tactics. It has real-world application. It integrates updated international case studies to demonstrate how strategic thinking and supply chain management play out in the real world. There are comprehensive learning tools. Each chapter includes discussion questions and there's a handy glossary to reinforce key concepts, and there are also learning outcomes which are listed for students. There are new chapters on supply chain risk, procurement strategies, digital supply chain strategies and future trends in supply chains. Ensuring you stay ahead of the curve. And sustainability issues for supply chains are discussed throughout the book. Ethical and environmental considerations address the critical balance between political, economic, technological, ethical and environmental factors in developing effective supply chain strategies. And if that's not enough, don't forget the comprehensive index. So there you have it.

Tony Hines:

So, in addition to all the additional resources, you have to support the book. That's why you should read it. It's got a real contemporary feel to the book and I also supplement the contents of the book with a weekly podcast, and that's this one, chain Reaction. So you can always drop by the Chain Reaction site and you'll get the latest thinking, the latest issues that impact supply chains. So why not subscribe to the podcast and, of course, join the professional community? It's free, it's up to date and there's a podcast every week with new things coming your way. So if you're a serious professional or a serious student of supply chains, then I'm sure you'll want to be signed up and be first to know of any developments in the supply chain. So Chain Reaction, all about supply chain advantage. And take a look at the website, because because there's other free resources and a blog, so plenty of resources to help, and those are all free. But the book, I'm afraid you will have to purchase or borrow from a library.
