Presented in an annotated bibliography format, the project identifies concepts, theories, articles, journals, and perspectives that will be useful to all Department of Defense users. The objective is to examine the logistics culture from these perspectives and provide a tool allowing a standardized level of knowledge subsequently generating a dynamic pool of knowledge encompassing logistical theories and qualitative decision-making tools.
