Managing global supply chains: McKinsey Global Survey Results
15th Aug 2008
A McKinsey Quarterly survey finds that supply chain risk is rising sharply. However, supply chain management isn’t keeping pace: most respondents say that their companies aren’t meeting strategic goals for it, and relatively few have acted on the global trends with the most influence over supply chains.
McKinsey has performed its own cost estimate around carbon reduction strategies, and concluded that reforestation and energy saving measures can provide around half of the required adjustments. The analysis significantly downplays perceived threat to economic growth.
