There is no other executive development program like this being offered in North America," said Robert Dye, president of the Purchasing Management Association of Canada (PMAC). "It's like earning a master's level degree in supply chain management. Our program sets the gold standard for professionalism in the field. "With an increasingly competitive business environment, the supply chain has become more complex and strategic," said University of Alberta School of Business's Dr. Edy Wong, who led the accreditation renewal. "From our research it was dear that employers are looking to C.P.P.s as innovative, strategic leaders with a 360-degree view of business. The new accreditation program will build this unique competence." A new strategy-focused accreditation program that will develop C...
Many of our suppliers are so enthusiastic about the "green suppliers" program that they've encouraged other suppliers (sometimes their competitors) to consider participating. Although our suppliers are not obligated to share information from the "green suppliers" review with us, many have chosen to do so. As a result of information-sharing, we've begun to realize how our expectations of the program have evolved from a focused "lean and green" review to an eye-opening experience in which some suppliers have discovered that'green' is not only the right thing to do, it can actually save them money and open new markets. Keith Lane, regional account director at DuBois/JohnsonDiversey, who applied "lean and clean" principles to pretreatment systems at Steelcase, says, "The real benefit I pers...

In the globalization era, cost competitiveness alone will not be sufficient to guarantee further success. The China's LICs faced a serious challenge between the top-down (global) and bottom-up (local) governance pressures. In order to remain competitive, there is a need for LICs to upgrade their activities and move up along GVC, and shall constantly pursue enhancement and optimization of value chain and developing their capabilities. To help overcome the constraints on LICs, the need to develop new and more effective governance strategies and policies are high priority. This paper also shows how LICs can break out of the "lock-in" which results form working for a small powerful GVC's governors. It recognizes the GVC governance variance and opening up new opportunities for LIC.

Preparing procurement professionals to meet the needs of a changing marketplace is the objective of PMAC's new Strategic Supply Chain Management Leadership Program, launching across Canada this fall. This 36-month executive development program offers a balance of foundational supply chain management knowledge and high-level business skills, leading to the country's most respected credential in the field, the Certified Professional Purchaser (C.P.P.).
Materials used by businesses for both production (direct) and accompanying administrative or operational (indirect) activities can be purchased via both offline and also online methods, such as electronic marketplaces (e-Marketplaces). Our paper examines the performance of such online e-Marketplaces under different types of governance structure (market or relational) and over time. This examination allows us to understand better the dynamic relationship between governance and purchasing performance. This provides important results for management in a variety of locations and over different times and stages of operations.

Unfortunately, according to Catalyst, a leading research and advisory organization that works to advance women in business, the number of women holding "clout" positions in their recent research (2006, 2007), has not increased in any meaningful way. Yet, there is some indication of progress as at least women now hold a growing number of positions in the so called "executive pipeline". UPS Canada, a supply chain and logistics management businesses, is another good example of a company that's making a concerted effort to advance its female employees. For instance, Shelley Gares, vice-president of customs brokerage for UPS Canada and a former Winnipegger, began her career in a clerical role and over a 20-year period, continually took on increasing levels of responsibility. As she progress...
