LQ is pleased to announce the presentation of its newest LQ executive interview video featuring John Langley Jr., Ph.D., Penn State. This LQ interview is available at: http://www.logisticsquarterly.com/videos/20091202/John-Langley-Jr.html . Thomas Goldsby, Ph.D., the University of Kentucky, and LQ Executive Editor, conducted this LQ interview in Toronto last month.

In this interview, John Langley, Ph.D., and Thomas Goldsby, Ph.D., discuss the heightened importance of supply chain management in today’s global economy and examine the findings of this year’s 15th Annual Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Study.

LQ was honored to have John Langley, PhD., and Thomas Goldsby, Ph.D., who are members of LQ’s Board, present at LQ’s January 13th Executive Exchange at the Toronto Board of Trade Country Club. This is the first of a series of LQ Executive Interviews conducted during LQ’s January Symposium that will be made available in the near future.

About LQ’s Symposiums

LQ's Executive Exchange is an international forum designed to exchange ideas between leaders from Canada and the United States. In today's global economy, Canada and the United States maintain a trading partnership that is, in many ways, unique. Trade last year between the United States and Canada almost matched that of the United States and the combined 25 member states of the European Union.
LQ's Executive Exchange builds on a tradition of introducing and demonstrating new leading ideas by senior-level practitioners in North America for supply chain management executives.
LQ's Executive Exchange breaks new ground in supply chain knowledge sharing – with nearly half of the session time dedicated to a workshop format in order to discuss practical applications and implications with the world class speakers and other logistics leaders that attend.
