Modern organizations perform
different types of activities, each of which requires a different management approach from
project management to production management to responsive management.
This book considers the need
for increased responsive management in a constantly changing business environment where
customers are demanding specialized treatment and competition is forcing firms to be
responsive in order to survive. "Service Response Logistics" integrates all the
components of responsive management - the need to empower employees, the need for improved
customer service - into a logical model which can be followed in order to achieve the
management objectives of the responsive organization.
