    The use of social media by B-to-B suppliers and vendors for customer relationship management (CRM) is limited, but those who are using social media for CRM are creating better experiences for their customers and are earning benefits as a result, according to a recent social CRM study released today by Kemp Goldberg Partners and IDG Research Services. More than half (58 percent) of the participants were either totally unaware of how their primary supply chain providers are using social media or thought suppliers and vendors were not using social media to interact with customers.

  • balance between efficiency and resilience is the key trade-off faced by supply chain managers, according to a recent research paper from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the business-to-business arm of analyst firm The Economist Group. Based on interviews with supply chain executives from Whirlpool Corp., Coca-Cola Co., Home Depot, Inc. and other companies, the paper highlights supply chain problems in the aftermath of the extraordinary swings in demand over the past two years.
  • According to a major IBM survey this summer, more than half of global business leaders believe their enterprises are not adequately prepared to handle a highly volatile, increasingly complex business environment. Based on a survey of 1,500 chief executives from 60 countries and 33 industries worldwide, IBM found that while eight in 10 CEOs expect the global business environment to grow significantly more complex, only 49 percent believe their organizations are equipped to deal with it successfully — the largest leadership challenge identified in IBM's eight years of research.
  • "[N]ow is the time for companies to reassess supply chain processes to ensure that progress towards efficiency does not boost the potential for failure in the face of economic, operational or environmental disruptions," EIU concludes.

  • Between August and September 2010, Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), surveyed 136 companies documenting their processes and capabilities regarding Global Trade Management. The Aberdeen Group report, Global Trade Management: Strategies for Mastering Trade Compliance and Supply Chain Complexity, reveals that trade compliance teams are actively revamping and augmenting their Global Trade Management (GTM) and specifically their Global Trade Compliance (GTC) programs to stay current with supply and demand fluctuations, growing global operations, increasing operational complexity and risk, and trade lane changes.
  • "There is no silver bullet for a successful GTM/GTC program -- it is a combination of excellence in the areas of access, enablement internally and externally, process/technology, and proactive planning and execution. When these things are aligned, in proper combination, they yield superior results," explained Bob Heaney, Senior Research Analyst of Supply Chain Management at Aberdeen.

  • Supply chain management can go a long way in determining the fate of a business. Just ask any businesses that were impacted by the disruption of seafood supply during the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And yet according to three Iowa State University (ISU) College of Business professors who have studied supply chain security and its effectiveness in businesses nationwide, research shows that large companies encounter a major supply chain disruption every four to five years on average. That's why businesses have been taking even greater strides to protect their supply chains since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to three Iowa State University College of Business professors who have studied supply chain security and its effectiveness in businesses nationwide.
  • Their new study of managers from 69 companies, which will be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Business Logistics, found that having a clear strategy is far more valuable in perceived effectiveness than either availability of resources or management support. So don't just throw money at the security problem, they say.

    Despite the economic recession, public support for free trade agreements has recovered after declining a year ago. Currently, 44% say that free trade agreements like NAFTA and the policies of the World Trade Organization are good for the country, up from 35% a year ago. Slightly more than a third (35%) say that such agreements and policies are bad for the country, down from 48% in April 2008.

    In an April 1-5 survey by CBS News/New York Times, 66% said "that trade with other countries - both buying and selling products" is good for the U.S. economy. Fewer (58%) expressed that view in March 2008.
