23. M&C View: SCM works in an horizontal organizational environment
25. M & C View: Skill sets amongst managers Management development process must focus on a holistic view of the way in which customer value is created and delivered. Awareness of how the interface in a supply chain needs to be managed. How actions taken in one area might affect the performance of the whole. Need for a greater level of “cross-training” across functional boundaries to ensure that the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts.
34. M&C View: Sources of Insights Providers. Academics and management developers engaged in the development of supply chain managers. Users. Students (in the case of graduate programmes and participants in the case of executive programmes who partake in such development). Buyers. Corporate who pay for such development.
