NEW BLOG: WHAT WE’RE READING
Want a view of the supply chain
that’s a little off the beaten path?
Check out our new blog, “Chain
Links: What We’re Reading This
Week.” Every Wednesday, our editors share links to interesting supply
chain stories they’ve found online,
such as The Atlantic’s examination
of New York’s $4 billion Tappan
Zee Bridge project; a blog post
on the Washington Post’s website
arguing that warehouse clubs have
done more than Amazon.com has
to change retail; and an interactive
map from National Geographic that
traces the supply chain of the illegal
elephant-tusk trade. (

; The unbranding. So-called “branded
logistics” companies such as FedEx, UPS,

may be facing new competitive threats.
