Abstract: Abstract A fundamental task of supply chain management (SCM) is structuring supply and distribution channel networks. As emphasized in Chapter 1, no business is an island. All businesses are suppliers of products and services to their customers as well as customers of some other business’s products and services. But supply chains go much deeper. In reality, all businesses are members of supply chains consisting not only of their own customers and suppliers, but also of their customers’ customers and suppliers’ suppliers. Structuring effective supply chain systems is, therefore, fundamental to the ability of all organizations to effectively leverage the resources and competencies of their channel partners to achieve competitive success.
