2008 Supply Chain Management Research Center Annual Conference
"Sourcing and New Market Development in the Global Supply Chain"

Our distinguished speakers and panelists from the world's largest retailer, consumer package goods companies, and steamship and third party logistics providers collectively represent a wealth of global and domestic supply chain experiences. They know firsthand what happens when one attempts to take American or European best practices to other countries of the world without first learning individual country market and logistical needs. They are themselves global supply chain practitioners. So what works? What lessons did they learn? How do they take these valuable lessons into other new markets and build responsive global supply chains? Join us as we learn, network, and discover the excitement and challenges of building responsive global supply chains.
