"The increasingly global complexion of supply chains brings myriad
challenges for firms across all sectors. This book's publication is
very timely in this context. International Supply Chain
Relationships brings Patrick's unique insights from his extensive
international experience to his fellow supply chain professionals
in a highly accessible manner."
*Dr. Edward Sweeney, Professor of Logistics and Systems at Aston
University, UK*
"Patrick has 3 decades of successful project completion on several
continents which includes my own previous employer, Procter &
Gamble. His learning has been gleaned from those experiences and is
reflected all through this book. It is my pleasure to recommend
this excellent publication."
*Liam Cassidy, Managing Director, LCL Consult.com, Dublin and

"It is critical that professionals that understand and appreciate
the economic and social benefits of global supply chain
relationships champion their evolution. This book is a very
valuable contribution to this complex topic. Very few possess
Patrick's deep understanding of International Supply Chains, from
the basic nuts and bolts of how supply chains function to the
global strategies that enable them. This book is very timely, and a
must read for all engaged in International Supply Chain
Relationships"
*Joseph Heffernan, Merck KGaA, Head of Production & Materials
Planning*
"Patrick eloquently captures the reality that the modern world is a
highly connected place that operates as an integrated system, and
the associated trade related cause and effects. He offers some
interesting food for thought in a world where increasingly the
politics of national self-interest is usurping the politics of
mutual interest and challenges some of the misconceptions of
globalization, the most positive effect of which is, in my opinion,
to help lift approximately one billion people out of abject poverty
in the developing world over the last 20 years, and create new
future global markets for goods and services."
*Kevin Martin, Global Procurement Director, Pharmaceuticals/
FMCG.*
"International Supply Chain relationships are in flux, with the
rise of nationalistic sentiment and looming trade wars. It is
critical that professionals that understand and appreciate the
economic and social benefits of global supply chain relationships
champion their evolution. This book is a very valuable contribution
to this complex topic. Very few possess Patrick's deep
understanding of International Supply Chains, from the basic nuts
and bolts of how supply chains function to the global strategies
that enable them. This book is very timely, and a must read for all
engaged or interested in International Supply Chain
Relationships."
*Joseph Heffernan, Merck KGaA, Head of Production & Materials
Planning*
"We tend to acknowledge globalization and inter-connectedness, but
when asked for details tend to describe some kind of Rubik's Cube
that can only be solved by a savant. In this intriguing book,
Patrick Daly provides the clear, pragmatic reality of international
supply chains and how to create and exploit them toward greater
profit and success. Forget the puzzle and listen to the
expert."
*Alan Weiss, PhD, author, Million Dollar Consulting and over 50
other books in 15 languages, Rhode Island, USA*
"Patrick Daly has proved his expertise on many occasions and his
advice has always been of great help in everything related to
logistics regardless of whether the interested party was a large
corporation or a SME. In this book, Patrick puts part of his
expertise and experience within reach of anyone who needs to
improve the value chain of their products and services. He provides
a clear view of the opportunities that are available to all
anywhere in the world. Thank you Patrick for shining some light
into the deep, dark world of globalization."
*Miguel Diaz, Zalia Logistics Platform, Asturias, Spain, CEO
(retired)*
"Patrick Daly has written an understandable roadmap for business
people working to navigate the complexities of globalization and
international supply chains. It simplifies, but is in no way
simplistic. Read this book - and learn from one of the best."
*Rebecca Morgan, President, Fulcrum ConsultingWorks Inc, Cleveland
OH,USA*
"The outcome of the 2016 UK Brexit referendum sent shockwaves
throughout the Irish manufacturing sector, but particularly through
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) focussed on a single market. As
sterling plunged, the certainties of making a living out of the
British market evaporated to be replaced by the anxieties of
building business further afield. For anyone facing into these
challenges, Patrick Daly's new book is invaluable. Not only is it
an easy to read that encourages SME exporters to try harder and
smarter, but it also alerts them to the threats to their own
business from firms previously not interested in their local
market. In a rapidly changing world of new trade deals, IT and
logistics platforms, this book could run to several editions."
*Howard Knott, MA, FCILT Logistics consultant to the Irish
Exporters Association and columnist for Fleet Transport*
"Patrick's success has been built on diligently scoping out the
problem, conducting detailed data analysis & then practically
modelling the solutions, before ultimately executing the
improvement, coupled with excellent stake-holder & change
management. All of this is encapsulated in this book and is brought
out through Patrick sharing the in-depth experience he has gained
whilst working on global supply chain improvements, it will provide
you with a deep understanding of what to expect & how to achieve
that optimisation opportunity you have always wanted to tackle"
*Michael Mansfield, Denture Care Manfacturing Support Manager, GSK*
