Supply Chains in Infographics
From the Set Econo-Graphics
A supply chain is a network of people who work together across the globe to create a product that reaches a consumer. In this book, readers learn about the complexities of supply chains and the factors that affect them. Real-world examples of supply chains are also presented, including facts about pandemic-era impacts. Colorful and clear graphics, such as maps, charts, and infographics, give readers an alternative to text-heavy sources. Action-based activities leave students with an understanding of how supply chains work. This book also includes a glossary, index, suggested reading and websites, and a bibliography.

Booklist - Supply Chains in Infographics
The Econo-Graphics Jr. series introduces foundational economic concepts with an emphasis on infographics. Short, straightforward text passages begin each chapter to explain the main topic and related terms. A variety of full- and double-page infographics with crisp designs and real-world examples follow these text passages to illustrate and reinforce their concepts. Inflation describes how supply, consumer demand, and the cost of raw materials and wages all influence inflation as well as indices that measure it. The Stock Market gives a history of Wall Street before looking at the modern stock market, bull and bear markets, effects of market crashes, and the future of stocks, including cryptocurrency. Supply and Demand explains the relationship and ultimate desirable balance between supply and demand and how factors such as competition, free markets, surplus, and shortage can affect this balance. Supply Chains highlights types of supply chains, supply-chain management considerations (materials, supplier sources, transportation, etc.), and consequences when this system breaks. Each series installment incorporates timely references to COVID-19 and how it impacted the economy (especially the toilet-paper shortage!). A culminating activity allows readers to test the volume’s economic theories while a concluding resource list lets them seek out related books and websites. An attractive and user-friendly approach to studying economics.
