MH&L Roundtable Report: Who's Filling Our Supply Chain Gaps?

Sept. 9, 2014
From Alibaba to Walmart, the supply chain implications of these omni-channel leaders are making headlines. 

Supply chain management is one of the most dynamic fields of study when it comes to developing new educational curricula and expanding business strategy. Many mainstream business journals have latched onto this trend, devoting headlines to the supply chain implications of Alibaba, Amazon, Walmart and other omni-channel leaders.

This attention to all things “omni” inspired MH&L to devote omni-coverage to its third annual Editorial Advisory Board Roundtable report.

Starting now and continuing through the coming week, MH&L will provide our Editorial Advisory Board’s analysis of the state of global logistics, transportation capacity, technology usage, omni-channel strategies, talent development and the Internet of Things.

Our in-print roundtable report is augmented here by audio sound bites from the event, video one-on-ones with the participants, tweets from MH&L staffers and comments from board members who weren’t able to take part in-person.
