Supply Chain Research
Much of your research on a company's supply chain management will probably be found through internet searching. As you find sources, ask yourself the following questions:
-
Who is providing the information?
- Information from the company itself will have a different purpose than information from a news organization, trade publication, or supply chain management analyst
-
How does this information fit into the bigger picture of the company's supply chain management strategy?
-
What questions are not being answered by this source?
- You may need to do further research to get the whole picture. Are there links in the source that will take you to additional information?
