But it is not new. Thousands of years ago battles and wars were won by the side who had the most sophisticated and flexible supply chains which still holds true today. Globalization has led to intense competition amongst businesses which has transformed the business landscape to look more like a battlefield. It is not that businesses or universities just discovered Supply Chain but they did realize it is vital to their existence in today’s constant battle for relevance.<br /> <br />There is one additional trait that was not mentioned which is vital on any battlefield. Leadership. Supply Chain professional must be comfortable with conflict in order to change common practices by often leading up the chain of command. A supply chain professional that doesn’t possess leadership is like a car without gasoline. It might look pretty but it’s certainly not going to take you where you need to go. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18040735512002282850noreply@blogger.com
