From the reviews: "This book, an update of the 2005 German edition, is based on interviews with 100+ managers at 54 companies in Western Europe, North America and Asia ... . The book, with a good quality touch, is filled with examples and data from companies and it has well-constructed, insightful data graphs and figures ... . I would highly recommend this book to academicians, consultants and practitioners or anyone who would like to know more about the inner workings of global production networks."
