TAKEAWAY: Globalization, the Internet and the shift from a
"push" manufacturing model to a "pull" model (the so-called
demand-driven supply chain) have all combined to create a new set of

affects every aspect of supply chain management, and it's rarely
planned. Companies simply realize one morning that half their sources
are no longer domestic. This article reviews the implications of
globalization, and includes good links to other sources of information
on the subject.
