Question $3$

Some of the quickest emergency assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina did not come from the American Red Cross or FEMA. It came from Wal$-$Mart. Millions of people were displaced or otherwise affected by the Gulf Coast calamity. Many waited for days as agencies struggled to provide assistance. Wal$-$Mart moved faster than traditional emergency aid groups because the retail giant has mastered:

strategic allying

distribution smoothing

channel power management

participative channel management

supply chain managemen
