Hidden between the The 100 Greatest Supply Tips of All Time! contest entries last week was a post on a new investigation into how globalization is affecting supply and contract management approaches and performance. Run by Supply and Demand Chain Executive, the study aims to better understand the key challenges global expansion and competition are posing for purchasing and supply management executives. More importantly, the benchmark will reveal the organizational traits and strategies top-performing companies are using to capitalize on the global opportunity (and to mitigate the risks associated with it).

The magazine will shut down the study at close of business tomorrow. So this is your last chance to participate.
There’s a number of reasons you should play. First, by participating, you’ll get a good idea of how your supply and contract management strategies and performance measure up against your peers. And you’ll take away actionable strategies you can use to improve your performance in these areas.

In addition, all participants will receive a complimentary copy of the resulting benchmark report: Global Supply and Contract Management: Strategies for Success in the New World Economy.

Finally, as an added incentive, one lucky survey respondent will receive a free pass to Procuri Empower 2007, a conference that will provide even more insight into global best practices, thanks to first-hand presentations from nearly 50 supply and contract management executives and luminaries. (Access the full Empower 2007 agenda here.)

In order to be eligible for the free pass contest, you must fill out the optional contact information fields at the end of the survey. All individual responses will be kept strictly confidential. To take the survey

The clock is ticking… the survey ends tomorrow.
