Global Logistics & The Future of Supply Chains

Use materials from the Global Logistics pt's 1 and 2, along with anything from the course, and any outside sources you might find, to answer the following questions:

1) What do you believe the biggest issues facing global supply chains today are?

2) What do you think global supply chains will look like 25 years from now?

3) If you were running a large multinational firm that was sourcing something complex (e.g. cars, electronics), how would you structure your supply chain? What do you believe the pros and cons of this approach might be?

Write between 350-550 words for this. Please use complete sentences and paragraphs (not just lists of bullets). I want to hear your opinion here, please though make sure to support it using facts from the class or reputable outside sources - we're looking for logical arguments here.
