  <title><![CDATA[Supply Chain Trends to Watch]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>In the July 4, 2010, issue of <em>World Trade Magazine, </em>top academic researchers including Chip White, Don Ratliff, and John Langley, weigh in on trends that will
change supply chain operations and management. The arrticle, "Supply Chain Trends to Watch," points out&nbsp; that the operation and
management of today’s global supply chain continues to challenge
executives worldwide. While the extended supply chain can make the
world seem a whole lot smaller, its changeability, lengthy complexity,
and vulnerability can baffle the most astute of operations managers
trying to tame it. Many describe the long chain as a constantly moving
target in continual flux as U.S. companies do things like continue to
merge with other companies and move from one overseas sourcing and
manufacturing locale to another in the constant quest for the
lowest-cost labor and materials.&gt;&gt; <a href="http://www.worldtrademag.com/Articles/Feature_Article/BNP_GUID_9-5-2006_A_10000000000000856033">Read more</a>. </p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
