Readers will learn a whole new security management philosophy, as explained through domestic and international examples and case studies ranging from major retailers such as Home Depot to shipping giants such as Maersk and FedEx.

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.
