Inventory and Supply Chain Management

Inventory management is a key element of the supply chain. It is sometimes confused with other related processes and practices of the supply chain ecosystem. Inventory Management is the tracking of inventory from raw materials to manufacturers, to finished goods, to distributors, warehouses (wholesaler or retailer), and from these facilities to a point of sale (end customer). The goal of inventory management is to have the right products in the right place at the right time.

Things Your Mergers and Acquisitions Consultant Won’t Tell You

Things Your Mergers and Acquisitions Consultant Won’t Tell You

Mergers and acquisitions bring a lot of anticipation, expectations, and enthusiasm. While the idea of increased market share, a strengthened core business, expanded product lines, enhanced technologies, and reduced costs—drive the desire to find that perfect strategic partner, studies have shown that that over 80% of merger and acquisitions fail to achieve targeted expectations. So why are so few M&As successful?

In reality, this less-than-20% success rate does not mean that the mergers and acquisitions fail on paper.
