•Describe and critically analysis the supply management practices employed by both of these companies.
•Are they involved in strategic alliances with major trading partners? If yes why?
•What strategies do they apply to procurement and outsourcing?
•What challenges do they face internationally? How does each attempt to overcome these challenges?
•Compare how these organizations use information technology for the management and coordination of supply management activities.Assess the level of success each has had with using these technologies.
