Leadership Series: Strategic Sourcing Forum
Presented by: The ABC Group
Location: Venue SIX10 (610 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL)
Time: 12:00pm - 4:40pm, followed by reception
The Strategic Sourcing Forum will focus squarely on the challenges facing SME importers from China. As we enter a new era where double-digit price reductions stemming from labor arbitrage are harder to find, SME’s must now aim at becoming more effective and efficient at managing Chinese suppliers if they are to avoid margin compression. The Strategic Sourcing Forum will bring together business leaders, academics, and policy makers to discuss and better understand how to approach and answer the question, “How can I become more profitable in China?”
To frame this question, attendees will engage in a range of presentations, including an economic overview of China’s economy and what it means to US businesses, a procedural examination of how to best manage Chinese suppliers, and relevant case studies from key businesses in the region. It is our hope that attendees will gain valuable insight into the tools and processes needed to effectively manage Chinese suppliers and actionable knowledge to guide their future strategic planning.
