The image is an apt way of describing the bounce in the market for supply chain management software in 2010. The worldwide market for supply chain management software applications, maintenance and services, or SCM, came in at $6.755 billion in 2010, including applications for procurement software, and nearly $4.6 billion without procurement, according to Chad Eschinger, a research director with Gartner (www.gartner.com). That’s an impressive 10% bounce over 2009. “It was a good, up year,” Eschinger says. That’s a bit of an understatement given that 2009 had posted a 1.9% decline over prior year revenues, the first year-overyear drop in revenues for SCM software since Modern began publishing an annual Top 20 list in 2001. When it comes to market leadership, 2010 reminds us of the lyrics from that old Billie Holliday song, “God Bless The Child:” “Yes, the strong gets more, while the weak ones fade.” The market leaders look much the same as they did in 2009, with SAP ($1.317 billion) and Oracle ($1.21 billion) still at the top of the list and posting impressive gains over 2009. They were followed by JDA Software ($362 million), Manhattan Associates ($136...

...outlet used to attract customers. According to the website About.com.Inventors, “Marketing is an activity. Marketing activities and strategies result in making products available that satisfy customers while making profits for the companies that offer those products.” (Bellis, 2012) According to Perreault, Cannon, and McCarthy (2011), there are two definitions for marketing and it depends on if you are talking about micro-marketing or macro-marketing. Micro-marketing is a performance of activities to accomplish objectives of an organization by anticipating customer needs directing a flow of need-satisfying goods and services from producer to customer or client. Macro-marketing is a social process that directs an economy’s flow of goods and services from producers to consumers that effectively matches supply and demand and accomplishes objectives of society (Chapter Marketing's Value to Consumers, Firms, and Society). Based on the first definition the importance of marketing is to attract customers. The more attractive or appealing an organization can make their product or service it will attract more customers. Everyday millions of people are inundated with all kinds of marketing strategies that companies use to increase business and to attract a larger customer base. The second definition suggests that marketing is about using marketing strategies to produce products that suit consumer needs and to procure a profit by doing so. The third definition tells the reader that the...

...GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT MO255 NIKKI WONG XIAO XUAN NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY (2897 Words) Executive Summary The objective of this report is to develop Singapore as a premier global hub port and international maritime centre, and to safeguard Singapore strategic maritime objectives. Research for this report includes evaluating the application on Lean and Total Quality Management (TQM) in logistics and supply chain networks to achieve Maritime Port Authority (MPA) objectives such as quality of service, competitiveness, reliability and efficiency. The major findings shows that lean implementation improves processing times achieving more work in less staff time and bringing services up to standard. (Radnor, Walley, Stephens, & Bucci, 2006). It also changes the focus of management from optimizing separate technologies, assets, and vertical departments to optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets, and departments to customers. Lean helps to eliminate waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems. Also, it requires keeping far less than half the needed inventory on site, results in many fewer defects and produces a greater...

The authors of Managerial Accounting for Managers define supply chain management as, “A management approach that coordinates business processes across companies to better serve end consumers,” (Noreen, Brewer and Garrison, 2011, p. 25). More and more consumers are increasingly trending toward a mass of buyers that crave instant gratification, whether it through technology, delivery or service. Common issues in supply chain management involve stock availability, inventory purchasing and order to delivery timeframe. Other concerns focus on the next generation of business, which involve cost effective and green supply chain, outsourcing, new technology, consumer behavior and most importantly emerging economies. With different views and theories on supply chain management it has become an increasingly important role for businesses in order to deal with these major problems that have arisen in the past few decades. Supply Chain Management Jobs Along with all of these progressively escalating concerns comes the increase for demand in the supply chain management career field.
