Latest Reader Feedback on: China - Supply Chain Friend or Foe?
I think you should send your article to all of the major newspapers across the country and ask them to reprint it. My thanks to you (and Google) for acknowledging the elephant in the room.
This "hear no evil, see no evil" charade is not sustainable.
Google deserves great praise and respect for what they did. Now let`s hope they aren`t left twisting in the wind by our government and other companies that have a similar capacity for drawing a meaningful line in the sand and sending a unified message about the importance of ethics and integrity in a functioning free market....

SUPPLY
CHAIN AND LOGISTICS STOCK INDEX |
|
|
|
| For the Week ending January 22, 2010 |
In a bad week for stocks generally, with a big slide the last few days, our supply chain and logistics stocks also took a big hit, almost across the board.
On the software side, SAP lost 6.2%, and rival Oracle slid 4.3%. Descartes Systrems dropped 4.4%,with everyone else down by lesser amounts. If you would have bought Descartes a year ago, however, you would still be smiling, as the stock is up 121% year over year.
Intermec took a 7.2% dive, while Zebra was off 1.8% in our small auto ID stocks group.
In the transports and 3PL sector, rail carrier CSX took a big hit, as it said it said it sees continued weakness in its markets (especially coal), and that it expects to see smaller rate increases in 2010 than 2009.
Rival Burlington Northern was flat though.
FedEx and UPS were also down more than 5% each.

SUPPLY CHAIN QUOTE
OF THE DAY |
|
|
Collaboration is still the key component in the short and long term Cycle of Success. In fact, those companies that have moved beyond collaboration as an "initiative" and incorporated it as an operating philosophy have been for more successful than those that have not.  |
- Cannondale Associates, in its annaul PowerRankings report for 2009, which surveys retailers and manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods sector on the performance of individual companies on each side along a number of dimensions, including supply chain.
