Abstract
"This book is the result of a four year study into the most commonly used management tools and techniques in the areas of business strategy and finance, marketing, production and operations, and procurement and supply chain management. It provides an insight into which are used in small, medium, and large companies, whether based in the US, Europe, and Asia, across many different industrial service sectors. It explains where companies find out about particular tools, and examines which appear to be the most successful."--BOOK JACKET.
