Executive Summary

In a recent Forrester supply chain survey, manufacturers and retailers stated that they face continuing pressures for cost savings through outsourcing, mounting competition through globalization and persistent disappointment with returns on current technology investments. Worse yet, firms realize that widely accepted supply chain strategies are inherently ill-suited for these new challenges. This report outlines how Forrester's supply chain research aligns with these escalating pressures. Specifically, the report maps out our approach to analyzing network-centric solutions and service models that help companies cope — and grow — in both the present and emerging global markets.
