ALPARGATAS S.A. BAXTER CASE STUDY MIDTERM PAPER Alpargatas S.A. Baxter Supply chain management is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption.

Globalization, outsourcing and information technology have enabled many organizations, such as Dell and Hewlett Packard, to successfully operate solid collaborative supply networks in which each specialized business partner focuses on only a few key strategic activities.

Reasons & Advantages The existing structure was increasing competition between Roche and Genentech as the product of the two companies were coming in direct competition with each other in multiple markets especially in US The existing ownership and operating model gave Roche little opportunities to address the increasing the overlap and duplication between these two firms (for example R&D work) The product licensing agreement between Roche and Genentech was set to expire in 2015.

A monopolistic competition is where several firms compete in the same market offering similar products or services but the products differ which makes it not a perfect competition. An oligopoly consists of fewer firms in a given market and each firm takes into consideration other firms and their actions in order to anticipate their responses. The industry that I am choosing to write my “Differentiating Between Market Structures” paper on will be on the automotive industry. The reason why chose this industry is because of how much the influence of the supply and demand really fluctuates the price and how other firms that are competing in the same industry are affected by the decision and actions of each other. With the automotive industry, the costs of vehicles vary depending on a lot of different factors.
Name: Vinay Bansal Balance scorecard Definition A balance scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used to arrange and align the various business activities with the vision statement of an organization. In some cases, a Balanced Scorecard also attempts to translate the sometimes indefinite, moral hopes of a company's vision/mission statement into the practicalities of managing the business in a better way at every level. A Balanced Scorecard approach takes a broader view of an organization and interrelate the processes so that the efficiencies are experienced by all departments and in a joined-up fashion. To embark on the Balanced Scorecard path a company first must know and understand the following: * The company's mission statement * The company's strategic plan/vision Then: * The financial status of the organization * How the organization is currently structured and operating * The level of expertise of their employees * Customer satisfaction level Origin of Balance scorecard Balanced Scorecard has been launched about twenty years ago as a first set of principles for balanced strategic Objectives and Measures/KPIs setting and measurement. The “parents” of Balanced Scorecard are Dr. Robert S. Kaplan, Baker Foundation Professor at Harvard Business School and Dr. David P. Norton, the founder of the consulting team that contributed over the past two decades to the development of Balanced Scorecard into today’s integrated and aligned management system.
