The programs for the integration of sustainability into industrial activities include the reconfiguration of production processes with a view to reducing their impact on the natural system, the development of new eco-sustainable products and the redesign of the business model. This paradigm shift requires the participation and commitment of different stakeholder groups and industry can completely redesign supply chains, aiming at resource efficiency and circularity. Developments in key ICT technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), help this systemic transition. This paper explores the phases of the transition from a linear to a circular economy and proposes a procedure for introducing the principles of sustainability (environmental, economic and social) in a manufacturing environment, through the design of a new Circular Business Model (CBM).

BRUCE CHEW Harvard University TAKAHIRO FUJIMOTO Harvard University Product Development in the World Auto Industry CHANGES in international competition in the past decade, and particularly the competitive problems of once-dominant U.S. firms and industries, have heightened interest in what causes international differences in productivity and product quality. Although analysis of macroeconomic data has produced some important insights, recent research has focused increasingly on the comparative behavior of industries, firms, and factories. 1 Such research raises in a direct way the issue of management efficiency.

  • The Marketing Plan
    The Marketing Plan The most important part of a business plan is the Marketing Plan. To keep one’s business on course this plan must be geared toward the business’s mission—its product and service lines, its markets, its financial situation and marketing/sales tactics. ♦ The business must be aware of its strengths and weaknesses through internal and external analysis and look for market opportunities. ♦ The business must analyze its products and services from the viewpoint of the customer—outside-in thinking. What is the customer looking for and what does the customer want (benefits)? The business must gain knowledge of the marketplace from its customers. ♦ The business must analyze its target markets. What other additional markets can the business tap into and are there additional products or services the business can add? ♦ The business must know its competition, current and potential. By identifying the competitor’s strengths and weaknesses the business can improve its position in the marketplace. ♦ The business must make decisions on how to apply its resources to the target market(s). ♦ The business must utilize the information it has gathered about itself, its customers, its markets, and its competition by developing a written Marketing Plan that provides measurable goals. The business must select marketing/sales tactics that will allow it to achieve or surpass its goals. ♦ The business must implement the plan (within an established budget) and then measure its success in terms of whether or not the goals were met (or the extent to which they were). The Marketing Plan is an ongoing tool designed to help the business compete in the market for customers.

Learn strategies to help you get started.

Those with the largest product catalogs—such as Amazon, Target and Walmart—dominated. And market leaders quickly adopted sophisticated search capabilities and methodologies to recommend related, also-viewed and popular products. But as eCommerce continued to grow and consumers increasingly turned to the Web to find and buy the products they needed, many found themselves overwhelmed by too many product choices— and underwhelmed by product recommendations that seemed too general to hold much appeal. Shopping the largest retail sites became an exercise in searching page after page for a specific product, while scouring blogs, designer shops, and smaller online stores became a way to discover unique, interesting products that were hard to find on large or generalist retail sites.

  • Managing Supply Chain Risk and Disruption
    COVID-19: Managing supply chain risk and disruption COVID-19 Managing supply chain risk and disruption i COVID-19: Managing supply chain risk and disruption Contents The black swan of 2020 1 When China, the world’s factory, is impacted, global supply chains are impacted 2 Responding to the immediate challenge 5 The imperative for a new supply chain model 14 ii COVID-19: Managing supply chain risk and disruption The black swan of 2020 Could COVID-19 be the black swan event that finally forces many companies, and entire industries, to rethink and transform their global supply chain model? As a typical black swan event, COVID-19 took the world by complete surprise. This newly identified coronavirus was first seen in Wuhan, the capital of central China’s Hubei province, on December 31, 2019. As of the end of February 2020, almost 90,000 people have been infected by the virus, leading to over 3,000 deaths. Despite significant efforts to contain the spread of the virus, including a travel ban to and from eight cities in Hubei province, COVID-19 has already spread globally. Over 65 countries are now reporting positive cases, with a significant growing number of positive cases in South Korea, Italy, Japan, and Iran. Over 10 percent of the positive cases, and growing, are now outside China putting other communities, ecosystems, and supply chains at risk. Given the characteristics of this virus, and the global movement of people, containment is exceptionally difficult. The full impact of COVID-19 on supply chains is still unknown, with the most optimistic forecasts predicting “normalcy” in China returning by April.1 However, one thing is for certain—it will have global economic and financial ramifications that will be felt through global supply chains, from raw materials to finished products.
