INTRODUCTION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM) A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. Supply chains exist in both service and manufacturing organizations, although the complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and firm to firm. Supply chain management is typically viewed to lie between fully vertically integrated firms, where the entire material flow is owned by a single firm and those where each channel member operates independently. Therefore coordination between the various players in the chain is key in its effective management. Cooper and Ellram [1993] compare supply chain management to a well-balanced and well-practiced relay team. Such a team is more
these three companies were merged into the Nokia Corporation. This corporation involved in many sectors, producing at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tires, footwear, personal computers, communications cables, televisions, aluminium, etc. The seeds of the current incarnation of Nokia were planted with the founding of the electronics section in the 1960s.

Palm oil, or palm oil-based ingredients are an important but not easily identified part of many toiletry products. Soaps, lotions and cosmetic products, for example, may all contain some element of palm oil. The palm oil producers have recently come under attack due to severe issues around deforestation, biodiversity and, not least, the rights of indigenous populations, poor labour conditions and health implications for women working in the plantation industry. So, shouldn't The Body Shop simply stop using an ingredient which seemingly has such bad consequences for people and nature or use suppliers following best practice? The Body Shop is by no means a major player in the palm oil industry in terms of volume. However, palm oil-based ingredients are added as ingredients to many of our products. We do not believe that sourcing from niche provider of organic or fair-trade palm oil would help the hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia, South
The measurement and assessment of national innovation systems has centred on four types of knowledge or information flows: 1) interactions among enterprises, primarily joint research activities and other technical collaborations; 2) interactions among enterprises, universities and public research institutes, including joint research, co-patenting, co-- publications and more informal linkages; 3) diffusion of knowledge and technology to enterprises, including industry adoption rates for new technologies and diffusion through machinery and equipment; and 4) personnel mobility, focusing on the movement of technical personnel within and between the public and private sectors. Attempts to link these flows to firm performance show that high levels of technical collaboration, technology diffusion and personnel mobility contribute to the improved innovative capacity of enterprises in terms of products, patents and productivity
