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 competitive when each player knows how to

we like it when everything has been done for us already. We want to have the newest mobile phones and best cars to show off and be better than our friends. However, it can make people selfish and egoistic. They want more and more and more. In the past 10 years modern technology has improved so fast that it is clearly visible when we compare technology in the years 2002 and 2012. When I was a little boy, I remember the time when I got my first mobile phone. It was Nokia 3310 (I can bet my life on it, that everyone in this class knows what Nokia 3310 looks like). It is thick and heavy as a rock, but I was so happy when I got it, because many years ago it was a really new model, a really new. When I got my second cell phone, I thought again that wow, it is so new and unique, I have a prettier phone than my friends do. Some months later, my friends got the same phone, only newer version of it. You can't imagine, how disappointed I was when I
consumer sector (between mass and prestige in the cosmetics market). This has required a new brand identity, product innovation, a new shop design, the development of a multi-channel service (The Body Shop At Home and e-commerce) and compelling values campaigns to ensure we better meet our customers' needs now and in the future. This repositioning has been underpinned by our commitment to the wellbeing of our fellow humans and the preservation of the planet which is outlined in this 2005 Values Report. There has been much successful progress on our Values this year. Our new branding incorporates "Passion Panels", which tell customers the stories behind our ingredients and our products. Our campaign to 'Stop Violence in the Home' is now making a real difference in 26 markets, and we've collected significant funds globally to support Tsunami disaster victims and promote HIV/AIDS awareness and research. We've focused our efforts on increasing internal communication of our values, through
“create the right framework, the right mindset” “senior leaders to create an environment of friendliness, courtesy, encouragement and helpful attitudes to ... innovative ideas” A tolerance for failure “You have to accept that [failure], take it for what it’s worth, learn from it and move on.” Patience “Patience is needed as well when it comes to innovation” Synchronizing innovation and business strategies Celebrate an innovation culture ■ “Of our four core values at Nokia, one is a Passion for Innovation. That’s very much highlighted in communications with employees, we discuss the values frequently with our people. In that way we live our dreams under that value, a Passion for Innovation.” ■ “BeQIK,be better, be Bosch.” ■ „We certainly have been successful, in part, because we never accept the status quo, we never accept conventional thinking, conventional wisdom. When you look at the points in the history of our company where we have

Mass Media What is Mass Media? Statistics show that there are few things which impact the human mind more than mass media. The advice of teachers, parents and relatives may fall on deaf ears, but the mass media influence holds us all spellbound! At this point, it becomes necessary to define mass media. Mass media may be defined as any form of communication which is meted out to the people at large, through the various forms of communication. What modes of communication are we talking about? Well there can be no static definition for the channels of mass communication as they are increasing all the time. But any form of communication which is seen and understood by a large mass of people can be taken to mean mass communication or mass media channels. Why is mass media so attractive to people?
