"Victor and William Fung and Jerry Wind, author of the best-selling The Power of Impossible Thinking, reveal how they've replaced "old-fashioned" infrastructure and huge employee bases with a fluid, ever changing network that can design, manufacture, and deliver almost anything, anywhere. The key to success in this world is a set of principles for "network orchestration," described for the first time in this book. They examine how these principles can be applied in manufacturing, services and other industries. They show how to build and orchestrate your own world-class global network."--BOOK JACKET.
