Module 1: What is Supply Chain Management? (ASU-WPC-SCM)

May 24, 2011 Video

Part 1 of 12 – This module introduces viewers to the field of supply chain management. It describes the complex supply chain of a simple product, a bottle of water. The video also illustrates the importance of supply chain managers and their skill sets in our modern global economy for both manufacturing and service industries. In defining supply chain management, the video also hopes to educate and inspire business students, young and old, about the opportunities available to those with supply chain management degrees. This is the first installment in Arizona State University’s twelve-part introduction to supply chain management video series. ASU, the WP Carey School of Business, and the Supply Chain Management Department are proud and happy to share this video series with supply chain management departments, supply chain instructors, career specialists in high schools and universities, as well as industry leaders in an effort to inspire a new generation of supply chain management professionals across the country and around the world. Further installments in this series will be made available during the spring of 2010. For more information, visit WP Carey’s SCM Web site at wpcarey.asu.edu or send an e-mail to wpcarey.scm@asu.edu.

In recent years there have been significant gains in women’s health and education, but gains in women’s economic opportunities have been modest at best. This is not only unfair, but also inefficient, since increased women’s labor force participation and earnings are associated with reduced poverty and faster growth. Women stand to benefit from their economic empowerment, but so do men, children and society as a whole. In sum, in addition to its intrinsic development value, there is a strong business case for expanding women’s economic opportunities: it is smart economics. Renewing attention to women’s economic empowerment and increasing investments in women are ways to promote economic development and reduce poverty.

    is “Gender Equality as Smart Economics” only GAP business case? Is there any other action or something for women’s eduction and health /By today/ What will World bank do when country or whatever want help for health or education? Reject it or?

  27. freedom0f5peech says:

    The first step to obtaining gender equality is to end both female and male genital mutilation (a.k.a. “circumcision”). And we can’t just end female circumcision, otherwise we will make things worse!
