  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Social networks have become a critical, but underutilized, aspect of the marketing process, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner analysts have examined the way social networks shape consumer buying behavior.
  • Gartner believes that it is essential for device vendors, application developers/publishers and communications service providers to understand how the different roles react to marketing information. For example, Self-Sufficients are not particularly swayed by the usual sources of marketing information, nor do Mavens typically act on the information that is their stock in trade. However, Salesmen, Seek

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 17 Dec 10 - Cached
  • Develop a Code of Conduct that includes Green. Be clear with what you are looking for in a supplier. Many industry trade groups have codes of conduct that spell out expected behaviors in terms of labor, products, GHG emissions and handling of waste. Point to those, or develop your own, but make it clear that it is more than a pamphlet; it is the way you do business and you expect your suppliers to do business.
  • Reward good behavior. Keeping tabs on your suppliers, either by encouraging them to respond to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) or through other audit mechanisms. That way you can see which suppliers have made a commitment to operating more sustainably. Reward that good behavior with a larger share of your business.
