Dr John Hibbs, Emeritus Professor, University of Central England, UK 'This is an important book for all of us involved in education and training of the next generation of logistics and shipping managers. Every once in a while we must examine not just the needs of the student, but how to recruit the best students. This book clearly gives us insight into the decision process of why our students come to us, and knowing that, we might be able to get more of the best and brightest to come our way.' David A.
