His first book, co-edited with Professor James S. Dyer of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, was a collection of 36 business cases and readings. [4] In a review for Interfaces , Professor James R. Evans of the Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati suggested the book was "by far superior" to other similar books published the same year, and "a valuable contribution to the literature in MS/OR education." He added that the teaching notes were "top-notch," especially for MBA students. [4]

His second book, Logistics Strategy: Cases and Concepts, co-authored with his HBS colleague James L. Heskett in 1985, is also a collection of business cases. In a review for the Transportation Journal , Professor Alan J. Stenger of the Smeal College of Business at Pennsylvania State University suggested the book could be used in logistics classes at undergraduate and MBA levels. [5] He concluded that the co-authors had "done an excellent job in demonstrating to the world what an important role logistics has to play in the management of business organizations." [5]
