Automotive Supply Chain Management In China
[ send me this paper ]
This 70 page paper presents an analysis of supply chain management in China. The essay begins with an overview of the automotive industry and the automotive industry in China, where it is growing by about 30 percent per year. This section concludes with four exploratory questions for the research study. The methodology is explained next - qualitative, exploratory, and case study. The literature review includes sections on supply chain management, automotive supply chain management, automotive supply chain management in China, and technology used in supply chain management. Analysis of the material follows the literature review. Both the Methodology section and the Analysis section explain how each question came to be a focus of the study. The last section is a list of conclusions based on the readings. The automotive industry is soaring in China; in 2003, China displaced Germany as the third largest market in the world. The country is expected to pass Japan within two to three years. The automotive supply chain is very fragmented in China with more than 2,000 auto parts companies listed. Joint ventures have led to some domestic companies adopting more effective management strategies. The tenth Five-Year Development Plan released by the government addresses the need to consolidate the auto parts industry and the government intends to support these kinds of consolidations. China represents the next large market for all major automotive companies in the world. Statistical data are included. Bibliography lists 30 sources.

B.R. Richardson Timber Culture and Innovations
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages. Like many timber companies, the B.R. Richardson Timber Products Company has ignored innovative management trends that have emerged over the last decade and is now finding itself caught in the trap that comes from not taking advantage of new efficiency systems. By having waited, several cracks in the structure have been identified within the organizational structure as a whole and it is having a negative impact on operations. The structure is weak due to many factors from lack of technology integration to inability to establish teamwork within the organization, which would allow the introduction of new ideas and innovations on a consistent basis for the continual improvement of operations. 9 References. jvBRRich.rtf

Balanced Score Cards and Profit and Not-for-Profit Organizations
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the management tool of the balanced
scorecard. The concept of the “Balanced Scorecard”(BSC) has
become one of the hot topics in management today – and with good
reason. A properly designed and implemented Balanced Scorecard
program can be a powerful tool for sharing a common vision
throughout an organization and coordinating the activity aimed at
achieving it. It can offer a remarkably coherent view of an
organization. The word “balanced” is part of the title to
indicate that the focus of such a management process and
evaluation is on the entire organization, instead of the
operational results and/or products it is delivering.
