STATE OF THE RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN: A TALE OF TWO OUTCOMES
Brian Gibson, Professor of Supply Chain Management at Auburn University
The retail industry is in the midst of a cataclysmic shift from single channel to multi-channel to omni-channel competition in less than two decades. Traditional retailers can no longer ascribe to the “build it and they will come” strategy thanks to intense competition. To survive and thrive in this environment, retailers must achieve an unprecedented level of supply chain integration and use advanced analytics to drive decision making. During this sneak peek of the upcoming 7th Annual State of the Retail Supply Chain report, you will learn how savvy supply chain executives are achieving success in this new world of integrated commerce.
