The Little Handbook of Logistics Haikus

""Professor Lim has created an outstanding resource for students and professors studying Operations, Supply Chain, and Logistics Management. Students will find it a valuable introduction to key concepts and definitions, which they will likely revisit as they prepare for interviews or take on new job responsibilities. Professors can use this book as a supplement to their existing textbooks and other materials. The haikus are simple and direct, but open-ended enough to generate differing interpretations and therefore class discussion. The prose for each topic is brief, clear, and very helpful. This is a unique, exceptionally creative book that I highly recommend for undergraduate and even MBA students."" David F. Pyke, Ph.D., Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management; Former Dean, Knauss School of Business, University of San Diego; Former Professor of Operations and Associate Dean, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College ""This is a fun book to read with important lessons to remember. The creative use of haikus provides a unique and engaging way to explore complex logistics concepts. It's an accessible and refreshing resource for both students and professionals in the field."" Maria R. Ibanez, Associate Professor of Operations, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University ""I highly recommend The Little Handbook of Logistics Haikus for its innovative approach in marrying logistics principles with artistic expression. This handbook provides practicing managers with a unique method to engage deeply with complex logistics concepts through the succinct and reflective medium of haikus, complemented by illustrations and insightful descriptions. It serves not only as a tool for immediate understanding but also as a catalyst for continuous learning and innovative thinking, thanks to carefully selected further readings. This book is an invaluable companion for managers striving for operational excellence, encouraging a blend of efficiency, innovation, and strategic insight in today's fast-paced world of logistics and supply chain management."" Jagjit Singh Srai, Ph.D., Director of Research, Head of the Centre for International Manufacturing, Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge ""The Little Handbook of Logistics Haikus was thoroughly enjoyable and informative.
