International logistics week 5 Discussion

This is a graded discussion: 40 points possible

Unit 5: Discussion (Chapter 9) international logistics

I am looking for a lively and highly participative discussion of this week's topics. Outstanding evidence of learning will be demonstrated by answering the questions and fully discussing, challenging, and enhancing the discussion by your fellow students.

Each student should answer one question individually and post two peer reviews of another students' comments. Remember to begin your peer posts with "Peer Review of:" (you will not receive credit if your peer reviews are not posted properly). Your answers need to contain information from both the textbook and from outside sources. This could include Power-Web, a website, or journal articles, etc. This means you need to cite your source at the end of each discussion question.

Your answers need to contain information from the textbook and/or information from outside the textbook (Internet). This could include Power-Web, a website, or journal articles, etc. This means you need to cite your sources and that you have provided the reference/s at the end of each discussion question.
