Green' business has been trending for some time now, and so has green supply chain management (GSCM). What is GSCM, how does it work, and what options are available to green merchants and green consumers when it comes to a green supply chain? How does the supply chain impact green consumers' buying habits, if at all? What green supply chain practices are most attractive to green consumers? Outline your conclusions and recommendations for green merchants and/or green supply chain managers. 3) Panic buying is a phenomenon in times of crisis, like a worldwide pandemic. During COVID-19, the struggle to find items like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes, along with food items like flour, sugar, yeast, pasta, rice, and eggs, was real. And the impact of panic buying on the global supply chain was devastating. Investigate the panic-buying phenomenon with a focus on its effects on the supply chain. What can be done to prevent a global crisis from negatively affecting supply chain in future? Outline your conclusions and recommendations for retailers and/or supply chain managers. 4) In April 2020, then-President Trump said that he would ban exports of personal protective equipment (PPE) to Ontario. During a global crisis, it is not uncommon for governments to limit or ban exports of necessities to preserve national supplies. But limits and bans leave export customers with a supply crisis of their own. To counter, Premier Doug Ford of Ontario declared that Ontario would never again be in a supply crisis, resolving to step up the manufacture and supply of made-in-Ontario PPE and medical supplies. What is the impact of national supply protectionism on the global supply chain? Do mantras aimed at buyers like 'Shop Canadian' (or its equivalent) work to encourage home-grown manufacturing and supply? Outline your conclusions and recommendations for governments, manufacturers, and/or supply chain managers. 5) In 2013, Target, one of the biggest American department store retailers, made its first venture into an international market by opening 124 stores in Canada. Just two years later, at a cost of CAN $2.5 billion, the retailer closed all its Canadian stores and pulled out of Canada - it was an epic failure. Several reasons have been cited: an IT compatibility issue that was never solved, a poor understanding of a different cultural context, and a severe supply chain challenge. There are other corporate expansion failures, just as there are some successes, too. Research another company's global expansion success or failure (take your pick), presenting it as a case study on what went right or wrong. Pay particular attention to the role of distribution/supply chain as part of the expansion success or failure. Outline your conclusions and recommendations for expansion retailers and/or supply chain managers.
