Traffic Management: Planning, Operations, and Control
(A complete, modern introduction to traffic management! Th...)
A complete, modern introduction to traffic management! The book covers the latest topics critical to effective traffic management in a deregulated environment--contracting, shipment costing, negotiating, anti- trust, electronic data interchange, transportation planning, information system support, and control. It also takes new approaches to several traditional topics. The discussion of transportation pricing emphasizes issues, concepts, and planning implications instead of technical procedures. In addition, because of its importance to strategic transportation planning, shipment consolidation is treated as a major subject and not as a by-product of the traditional "terminal and accessorial services" topic. The volume includes checklists, step-by-step procedures, and other reference material found in end-of-chapter appendices, vignettes summarizing actual company experiences, and numerous practical examples. It also includes selected topical questions taken from past American Society of Transportation and Logistics exams used in its professional certification program.

Principles of General Management: The Art and Science of Getting Results Across Organizational Boundaries
( Stop! If you have been looking for the one resource for...)
Stop! If you have been looking for the one resource for managing a business of any size, this is it. Based on the extensive business experience of five experts, this authoritative guide provides an in-depth look at what every leader must know about managing across departments, functions, divisions, or companies. Drawing on decades of combined experience, John Colley and colleagues detail the wide range of skills, tools, and conceptual understanding as well as the qualities of leadership that a successful general manager must acquire. In an era of specialization and specialists, the authors return due focus to the generalist. No other book so passionately and thoroughly examines the roles and responsibilities of the general manager and the full scope of this distinct, pressure-filled occupation. The authors explore the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the job and discuss how the skilled manager moves an organization from abstract goals to definitive action. For every profit center or plant manager, function head, division president, or CEO, this book is indispensable reading.
