"I like the fact that it is a localised version – after seeing all the materials on transport or logistics from the USA. The questions at the conclusion of each chapter are well-written and require thought on the part of participants in discussions. Also nice that they are divided between operational/planning/managerial – nice touch! This makes the discussion questions much more useful than in several other text books I've looked at recently."Dr Lincoln WoodSenior Lecturer, Curtin University
