Summary:	Written by a leading authority on supply chain management, The Nature of Supply Networks synthesizes decades of research to understand supply networks as a complex adaptive system. Incorporating network concepts and theories, Thomas Y. Choi describes the basic structural elements of supply networks and their organization, and examines the dynamic and evolutionary patterns of supply networks. Choi then considers a host of specific issues--control vs. emergence, nexus suppliers, and cyber security--as well as how supply networks will evolve with increased disruptions from extreme weather patterns, trade wars, and other unforeseen events.
