Examine supply chain management and global supply chain concepts supportive of operations management efforts.
PC-3.2: Interact with others in a professional manner using appropriate communication and presentation skills.
Once, the world seemed smaller, with businesses having scope within their national supply chains. Now, business leaders need to consider the concept of glocalization, a hybrid word of global and local, they need to think globally and act locally.
