{"product_id":"grand-strategy-tapio-pento-9780615300375","title":"Grand Strategy: The Strategy of the Supply Chain","description":"Grand strategy is the business policy used by a nexus firm-the leading concern in a supply chain-whose suppliers and distributors work alongside it to manufacture and distribute its products. This grand strategy helps the nexus marshal other companies into a formation, a supply chain in which the processes of independent firms are managed across their respective boundaries. A vertical grand strategy reworks the trans¬action cost theory and applies it to the creation of cost-optimal supply chains. The horizontal grand strategy applies micro¬economics to construct a competition strategy, which is employed at the end-user markets of a supply chain. In brief, this book pioneers the grand strategy of the supply chain. While it is written for managers who want to improve the competiti¬veness of their supply chains, it is also of substantial value to scholars since it combines economic theories with management learning to create a \"science of business.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tapio Pento\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615300375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615300375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tensor Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.53d","brand":"Tapio Pento","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241068343551,"sku":"9780615300375","price":69.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a1c54c9-cc85-46ba-952b-1035dcf98b24.jpg?v=1772652574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grand-strategy-tapio-pento-9780615300375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
