What You’ll Discover Inside:

This book isn’t just for business leaders, logistics professionals, or supply chain experts. It’s for anyone who wants to see the world differently, to understand the hidden forces that keep our modern lives running and to apply systems thinking to make better decisions in a supply chain. Because once you see the hidden network, you will never see the world the same way again.
