Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires a comprehensive exploration of supply chain management, including analyzing three specific articles related to Walmart’s supply chain, Costco’s supply chain, and a general article on supply chain management. The first part involves selecting credible articles from reputable sources like Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, Harvard Business Review, CNN, or Google. The chosen articles should relate directly to Walmart and Costco’s supply chain practices and to general strategies in supply chain management. The task emphasizes understanding how these case studies relate to the foundational concepts discussed in Chapter 1 of the relevant textbook. After identifying and providing links to these articles, students must extract and underline key material from each article, demonstrating their grasp of core ideas without including these highlighted portions in the subsequent analysis.

The second part of the assignment focuses solely on the third article—the general supply chain management piece. Using this article and the accompanying textbook, students are instructed to compose a 2.5-page scholarly paper discussing the strategy component of supply chain management. This paper should synthesize insights from the third article and the textbook, avoiding reliance on external sources to ensure originality and adhere to academic integrity standards. The discussion should elaborate on supply chain strategy, including its importance, components, and how it aligns with overall business goals, all articulated in APA style with double spacing.

The third part of the assignment involves an analytical paragraph comparing the mission or vision statements of Walmart and Costco. This comparison aims to interpret what these statements reveal about each organization’s core values and operational focus. Furthermore, students must evaluate whether these mission or vision statements are genuinely reflected in how each company conducts its business, again presenting findings in APA style with double spacing.

Throughout all parts of the assignment, originality, proper citation, and adherence to academic standards are paramount. The combined output should amount to approximately 4 to 4.5 pages, with each section executed in a clear, organized, scholarly manner that demonstrates critical understanding of supply chain management principles and corporate strategic communication. Proper references, formatted in APA style, should be included at the end.
