Great site regarding supply chain management services. I really glad to you Tompkins about the globalisation of supply chain management. Thanks for providing such an interesting blog. China business is developing very fast with many organisations adopting Supply Chain Management Services.

Well good stuff until so far that I have heared from TechnomicAsia … and learnt a lot for my future business in Russia. However, I am always skeptical bout mergers and aquisitions. If the stragey fits, the enterprise culture fits than lets see. I hope it will not be like Viktor Chernomirdin (former premier minister of Russia and now ambassador to the Ukraine) said: “We wanted the best, the result was like always”.

The fight was upgrade in Asia.
“Most B2B technology companies have a clear set of competitors they’re battling. But for some (usually early stage) tech companies, there are no other companies to fight: they’re inventing a market. The only competitor is the inertia of the target audience. At first glance, it sounds like a great position to be in. Never facing a head-to-head competitor. Being free from the never-ending features arms race. But in reality, these can be the toughest marketing challenges of them all”
GlobalSaler.com CEO, Xin said that.
