Consumer Products

From source to consumer, profitably

The consumer products industry has undergone dramatic change in recent years.  Consolidation, new systems for supply chain management and distribution, the relaxation of international trade barriers, and the growth of information technology — these new ways of doing business have contributed to greater competition, overcapacity, slimmer margins and greater customer demands. For leaders who can turn challenges into opportunities, however, this business environment offers tremendous potential.
