- What I like most about the book is that it weaves you into an exciting and enticing journey through the foundations and strategies of supply chain management, blockchain concepts and technologies, and even incorporating the SCOR model. The use cases in supply chain are really helpfully illustrative and capture global examples from all over the world. It is most up-to-date and helps us navigate supply chain management strategic issues while taking advantage of the transformative effects of blockchain technologies. I think it is a must-read for any forward-looking supply chain professional. Very nicely done!
