MIT-CTL Supply Chain Strategy

MIT Supply Chain Strategy is an independent newsletter published by IOMA with the mission to drive competitive advantage by linking corporate strategy and supply chain management. Its 12 issues each year shepherd senior executives from a broad cross section of industries and corporate disciplines through developing a strategy that defines how their supply chain should work.

The management of a company's lifeline— its supply chain—underpins its competitiveness. Organizations that understand this, and fuse corporate strategy and supply chain management to create a strategic asset become market leaders. Yet many enterprises—and otherwise sage business leaders—still fail to make this crucial connection. Supply Chain Strategy exists to help both leaders and laggards bridge the gap between supply chain professionals and the boardroom.
