< BACK The Resilient Enterprise Overcoming Vulnerability for Competitive Advantage Yossi Sheffi Endorsements"Yossi Sheffi's book makes it vividly clear that the winners on the competitive playing field will be those companies who effectively manage their supply chains, particularly in the face of adversity. This is a boardroom issue, and a must-read."—Michael L. Eskew, Chairman & CEO, UPS "Insightful, shrewd, and creative. This book shows how enterprises properly made resilient against both terrorism and the disruptions inherent in globalization can also have the flexibility to respond more effectively to today's fast-changing markets." —R. James Woolsey, former Director of Central Intelligence, Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton "This book offers reassurance to the CEO who wakes to a nightmare of what Sheffi calls high-impact/low-probability disruptions. It concludes with recommendations for securing a resilient organization that can suffer the shock of potentially catastrophic destruction, learn from it, and bounce back." —Dame Sandra Dawson, Director, Judge Institute of Management, University of Cambridge "A crucial book for anyone involved in operations and logistics to understand how to build a truly flexible organization that can not only withstand but thrive in a risky world." —Patrick T. Harker, Dean, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania "The Resilient Enterprise is the must-read post-9/11 book for every CEO, senior manager, and company director. Sheffi provides the perfect antidote for the all-too-human tendency to reach for rosy glasses despite the fact that disasters and acts of catastrophic terrorism are not a question of if, but when. Companies that 'think the unthinkable' and embrace the commonsense recommendations outlined in this book will prosper both before and after we hit the inevitable bumps along the 21st-century highway." —Stephen E. Flynn, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow for National Security Studies, Council on Foreign Relations, and author of America the Vulnerable "This is the best business book I have read this year. It will be essential for senior managers and CEOs, for whom it will provide much food for thought and a stimulus to action." —John Allan, Chief Executive, Exel PLC "In our enormously complex world, disruption is an inevitability and resilience a requirement. Yossi Sheffi's landmark book offers managers a comprehensive approach to preparing for what cannot be predicted." —Michael Hammer, author of Reengineering the Corporation "Excellent!! I really enjoyed reading it. For me, unlike many business books, it held my attention and I wanted to keep reading to get to the next chapter. The strength of the book is the 'real life' examples and the vignettes woven into the topics being discussed. The content is so good that if you look at the examples/discussions though the government's eyes, there is knowledge to be gained throughout the book. I appreciate the opportunity to read it." —Kenneth Wykle, President, National Defense Transportation Association |
