Your manager asked you to conduct research and develop a case study analysis on the company’s supply chain strategy, including transportation. She is specifically interested in you doing the analysis on one of the companies from this list:
Amazon.
Apple.
Starbucks.
Walmart.
Research and write about the company that you have selected from the above list.
You and your manager discussed the high-level outline of your analysis and agreed you should address the following items:
Describe the company’s business model (particularly related to their supply chain strategy).
Provide a diagram or visual to explicitly describe that same business model.
Compare and contrast the company’s supply chain strategy with another company’s strategy.?
Use another company from the list to determine which supply chain areas the company excels at compared to your selected company.

Analyze the global challenges the company faces in its supply chain.
What are the company’s main supply chain risks and how can the company reduce these risks?
