Using Home Depots annual report as the primary example, Brian Stanko and Thomas Zellers easy-to-use guide examines a variety of types of financial reports, addressing both SEC and FASB regulations.

Annual Reports.......2004-06-21
I found this book to be an excellent review for experienced annual report readers and yet clear enough for readers unfamiliar with the material.
Very readable with good, concise examples.
I strongly recommend to anyone interested in a better understanding of corporate annual reports and financial statements.

Recomended by an Accounting Professor.......2006-11-06
I am an accounting professor. This little book is a required text in the MBA course I teach, "Accounting for Managers". It is a great overview ofthe accounting process, and how it can be manipulated by the less-than-ethical. An easy read, but not simplistic. Anyone who owns or is thinking about buying stock should read it.

Good Compilation of thoughts on Supply Chain.......1998-09-04
This is a Compilation of good articles. It gives an idea about Supply Chain thoughts developed over a period of time. We cannot see all articles connected and establish a chain of thoughts because it seems a book was not planned when the author was writing these articles. However,Very good book for knowing the fundamental concepts of supply chain.
A series of articles does not make a book........1998-08-05
I was disappointed. Make sure you understand that this book is a compilation of a series of articles that appeared from mid-1980 to mid-1990. Two problems arise: 1) Since each article is brief, there is no depth to the subject matter, and 2) though a valiant attempt was made to organize the articles into logical chapters and categories, the truth-of-the-matter is that the flow of information from one article to another can be disjointed and difficult to follow. With all due respect, the author points this out in his Introduction, but alas, I had already purchased the book.
Outstanding! Worth the $$$........1998-05-22
Perfect book for anyone interested in learning the fundamental and competitive advantages of supply chain planning. Very interesting and enlightening. It's quite rare that I respond to book reviews, it's that good!
basic and introductory, a mix of articles on logistics.......1998-02-09
Gives a rough idea on supply chain management.Fails to elaborate on he subject, sometimes no link between one article to other. The author has the ability to explain very well. Better to take some leading journal articles for discussion.

Book Description
Supply Chain Management (SCM) was once a "pie in the sky" concept that could not be fully achieved. A key barrier was the cost of communicating with and coordinating among the many independent suppliers in each supply chain. SCM is possible because of three changes: technology has developed that simplifies communication, new management paradigms have developed that are shared among supply chain members and simplify their coordination efforts, and the development of a highly trained workforce. Managers recognize that costs can be reduced while customer satisfaction is increased when production and inventory decisions are based on analysis of the total system of delivering products and/or services. Gradually, firms have begun to see themselves as a system of closely linked processes which deliver products and/or services to customers and to recognize that the entire firm is one link in a chain of firms that serve the customer. By increasing the integration in the entire supply chain, all the firms in the chain can increase their profits. Competition in the workplace has pushed firms to make SCM a reality. Those who master it gain a competitive edge. Therefore, SCM means money and jobs. The Basics of Supply Chain Management will give you the tools you need to master this crucial subject. Features

From the supplier: Effective supply chain management has become a significant concern within the furniture industry. This is hardly surprising given that over half the money that furniture makers invest to produce and ship products to clients is spent on supply chain materials and activities. Furthermore, one of the biggest problems that furniture producers must address is the exceeding length of time taken to get the product through the supply chain to the customer.

Description:
Literature on supply chain management (SCM) covers several disciplines and is growing rapidly. This paper firstly aims at extracting the essence of SCM and advanced planning in the form of two conceptual frameworks: The house of SCM and the supply chain planning matrix. As an illustration, contributions to this feature issue will then be assigned to the building blocks of the house of SCM or to the modules covering the supply chain planning matrix. Secondly, focusing on software for advanced planning, we outline its main shortcomings and present latest research results for their resolution.
