While there are always individual company leaders which drive connectivity for their own benefits, rarely if ever has an entire sector really tried to address the issue, other than perhaps developing electronic communication standards, such as the VICS EDI standards in consumer goods to retail.

After reading this article

1. Do you think lack of connectivity and integration is a key limitation in the progress of the supply chain in any industry sector, from consumer goods to health care?
2. How do companies such as IBM improve their Supply Chain Management (SCM) system using the new system  and do you think it will be industry standard?
3. How will developing new electronic communication standards benefit industries comparing to present system.

Which side of the divide will you end up on?  What are you willing to do to insure that?  Just because you will have a college degree doesn’t mean that you’ll end up on the side you expect!  If you do not make a conscious decision about this, make plans and take action, you will be very disappointed in the not too distant future.

Please check out this short article that was in The New York Times recently  http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/how-technology-wrecks-the-middle-class/?_r=0.

Question:

1.  Which side of the divide will you end up on and what are you going to do to make it happen?
