Project 3 Assignment Purpose:

The purpose of this assignment is to allow students the opportunity to explore some of the current risks and issues in supply chain logistics management. Also, this assignment should challenge students in improving their individual research and business writing skills.

Project 3 Background:

In last few sessions of the course we are wrapping up the course with some of the current risks and issues in operating competitive supply chain logistics programs. Your task is to take one of these issues and provide a document summarizing the issue from three different perspectives – economic/business, political and social. Each side of the argument (position) should be thoroughly researched and a one-page explanation of the issue from that perspective presented. After you have presented all the perspectives you will be allowed the opportunity to provide your commentary on the issue and from your perspective as a supply chain manager determine what course of action you may take in your company (real or fictitious).
