[Wayne Sun · Rating 3 out of 5]

An extremely detailed and comprehensive book on the history of Li & Fung, one of the world's largest global supply chain managers. Features an extremely deep understanding of their business model, as well as outside events that helped this small family-owned business evolve into an international juggernaut. Recommended for anyone who's curious about manufacturing, and wants to learn more about a lot of aspects of the business without practical experience. There's a lot to take in.
