Hi everyone. I sent around this information in an email, but in case you might have missed it, here is the information:
(1) There has been some confusion, so please allow me to clarify: the Threadless case will be assigned at the end of the next class. This will allow everyone to discuss the evolution of supply chains and apply those learnings to your analysis of the case. If you have not done so, I would encourage you to check out http://www.threadless.com/ to learn more about the company and experiment a bit with their model.
(2) As a reminder, we have a guest speaker attending on Mon, May 4. Tyson Dusch is a regional manager with Starbucks who will be speaking about their innovative supply chain practices. In order to prepare for Tyson's visit, please explore Starbucks' "ethical sourcing" on their website: http://www.starbucks.com/sharedplanet/ourResponsibility.aspx
(3) We also have a guest speaker attending on Mon, May 11. Chris Gebhardt is EVP of Participant Media and GM of TakePart, their very robust online social action platform. If you are not familiar with it, you might visit the site at http://www.takepart.com/blog/. Chris has deep expertise in marketing from his days at Pepsico and Ogilvy, so will be addressing marketing strategies that spawn activism and engagement.
Have a good weekend.
