Intensive cooperation  with suppliers has become an integral part of production management.  In recent years two further developments have gained ground. On the  one hand enterprises have been specialising and concentrating on their  core competencies with outsourcing as a consequence, on the other hand  globalization has intensified the range of choice among suppliers.  Increased dependence on suppliers called for new forms of cooperative  ventures. Strategic and legal issues had to be considered and  production management had to include sophisticated logistic chain  management. These developments have led to the concept of `Extended  Enterprise'. \u003cbr\u003e  Among many other topics, this book discusses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eco-operation between companies; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003esupply chain management;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eagile and virtual management; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eintegration of the logistic  chain; and \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eproduction and logistical strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  The book comprises the proceedings of the Working Conference on  Organizing the Extended Enterprise, sponsored by the International  Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), which was held in  Ascona, Switzerland in September 1997.
