Program Overview
Globalization and technological innovation are driving the creation of the extended enterprise -- the dynamic network of interconnected organizations, from suppliers' suppliers to customers' customers, which work collaboratively to bring value to the marketplace. These new, customer-centric supply chains have accelerated the convergence of information flows, product flows, and payment flows, and are transforming the ways that companies produce goods and provide services.

Managing the Extended Supply Chain provides insight into these new ways of doing business. It moves beyond the linear thinking of incremental, short-term improvements in productivity and efficiency to address the longer-term, exponential changes that organizations must make in order to manage the complexity of today's fluid network of suppliers and customers.

Based on the latest research at MIT and IMD focusing on companies achieving outstanding performance using innovative supply chain strategies, the program explores the optimization of value to the customer through carefully orchestrated collaborations, services, and linkages.

Participants will leave the program armedwith the knowledge of how to create new ways of doing business, improve outsourcing processes, design smarter interfaces, recognize opportunities for aftermarket services, develop mutually beneficial long-term relationships with customers and suppliers, and manage the internal changes necessary to make it all happen.
