Describe and analyze Sustainable Corporate Development + Competition and Risk
Supply chain operations face various risks and the scope of these risks is much broader due to the global nature of most supply chains. Managing logistics and supply chain operations became complex in these environments, thereby requiring that managers continuously scan for opportunities and threats within their business operational environments. Please ensure each question is between 1200-1500 words which should contain a short
conclusion to finish the question. Both questions should be focused on the same organisation.
Question A: Using an appropriate organisation of your choice suggest, giving reasons, a robust risk management process that the organisation can use to develop a sustainable supply chain strategy.
Question B. Suggest how a strategic supply chain relationship can be developed in order to gain sustainable competitive advantage.
Guidance
You should consider the factors affecting the role of the transport or logistics business and review how this is likely to evolve. It is useful to examine the potential and proposed strategy, which could include
the following:
Sustainability (Internal and External);
Competitive structure;
Risk analysis models;
Lean and waste reduction approaches;
Positive and negative operational impacts;
Strategic relationships opportunities.
The choice of strategy will take account of the risks identified. It can lead to a development of the
strategic direction and new balanced performance indicators.
