Viable, value-creating solutions for securing global transportation networks

Securing Global Transportation Networks demonstrates how improved security processes can create value across all the business functions throughout an entire value chain.

If you're charged with making or evaluating transportation security decisions, you'll find the tools you need to succeed -- and prosper -- with the Total Security Management approach.

  • Explains globalization's impact on transportation networks
  • Creates a framework for realizing a return on security investments by integrating it as a core business process
  • Details how transportation firms, investors, and insurance companies can measure and reward smart security practices that protect a firm's fixed assets, assets in transit, brand equity and goodwill, and human capital

Excellent book, written by three veterans of the industry and featuring a foreword by Tom Ridge, the first Secretary of Homeland Security...the authors develop in the book the concept of Total Security Management, and use compelling case studies to illustrate their point that a secure business is a successful business...The book further demonstrates the financial benefits of investing in security, and also how to protect physical corporate assets, whether they be fixed or goods in transit...this book is a must for anyone working in or around global transportation industries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, November 1, 2006
By 
Nicazzio (Columbia, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Securing Global Transportation Networks (Hardcover)
I am impressed with the authors' argument that the private sector can create value while adopting security measures throughout their transportation network. Usually, businesses view security as a cost, rather than an asset. This book, however, argues that implementing security measures can be a market differentiator and create a competitive advantage for a firm that faces an unexpected disruptive event. I would recommend this book to you if you enjoy reading about the impact of globalization on the US economy. Great read for MBA students!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent strategy and resource!, November 16, 2006
This review is from: Securing Global Transportation Networks (Hardcover)
Total Security Management is a wake up call for global executives. Today's companies are no longer in control of their own fate unless they become proactive. Securing Global Transportation Networks provides an innovative approach to supply chain security and the relationship to value creation. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with responsibility for protecting any part of the supply chain or operating in the business of trade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Securing Global Transportation Networks, October 10, 2006
This review is from: Securing Global Transportation Networks (Hardcover)
This book provides a very detailed process -Total Security Management (TSM) - for implementing security into the global supply chain in such a way that it adds value to the bottom line. A must read for corporate executives and transportation security professionals responsible for protecting the company supply chain. A primer for improving security and beginning to realize a positive rate of return on transportation security investments.
