1. To which extent do you believe that supply chain strategy and business strategy should be in full alignment? Why?

Include an example to support your argument.

2. Discuss how businesses can properly establish their logistics priorities. What aspects should be comprehensively considered in advance?

3. Discuss how cost management knowledge and skills can enable logistics managers to run this function efficiently.

* You can answer the three questions directly or reply to at least three classmates of yours, agreeing or disagreeing with their arguments.
