“If you look at the social sciences in general (art, poetry, short stories, novels) there are luminaries who have books and articles written about them. Take for example the Salvador Dali museum here in Tampa. We know so much about them. All we have for the great supply chain thinkers are the published works they produced. We didn’t really know the person. I wanted to get a richer understanding of who there were and how they were thinking. It was something I felt should be done.”

-Dr. Jim Stock
