From the reviews:“Switchpoints for the Future of Logistics is a business and management book related to the production and logistics industry. … The design invoked the sense of projection, renewal, structure, and control―themes that are certainly relevant to the theme of the book. … the target audience is practicing senior logistics managers and analysts who likely have a university degree.” (Tessa Möller, Interfaces, Vol. 43 (3), May-June, 2013)
