New Attempt

1. Why is M&S in this predicament? Has increased overseas sourcing helped or hindered their marketplace performance?
2. Given that costs must be reduced, how can M&S capture the potential benefits of low-cost sourcing while still improving responsiveness?
3. Is the current one-size-fits all approach to supply chain management strategy the best way forward for the company, or are there better alternatives?
4. Advise M&S on how a total end-to-end supply chain strategy might be developed.
