Update on the progress of supply chain leaders on progress on the Supply Chain Effective Frontier (balancing growth, profitability, cycles and complexity). Philippe Lambotte, SVP of Merck, recommends a seat at the table, focus on supply chain strategy, eliminate the white noise, and stay the course.
As companies continue to deal with the effects of the global economic slowdown, they must ensure that every part of their business is effective and efficient. For many companies, the procurement process is riddled with inefficiencies and thus ripe for potential savings. One key strategy in identifying and realizing these potential savings is to adopt world-class P2P (Procure-to-Pay) technology. Below are 10 key features to look for when shopping for or upgrading your P2P technology.

Economics in One Lesson: Wars, Governments, Price Controls and the Boom-Bust ...Graham Wright
Based on the Henry Hazlitt book, this presentation is an introduction to applied economics. Hazlitt's lesson, to consider what is unseen as well as what is seen, is applied to various situations: broken windows, wars and governments.
The market process for allocating resources is introduced, and the effects of price controls, such as the minimum wage law, on resource allocation is examined.
Finally, the One Lesson and the theory of price controls is applied to the phenomenon of the boom-bust cycle, which is explained as a necessary consequence of government manipulation of interest rates.

Unit 8 DB: Identity Theft Article
A Chief’s View:Identity Theft:Resources for Police
By Stephen White, Chief of Police, Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania, and Monique Einhorn, Attorney, Identity Theft Program, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C.
Identity theft seems to be on everyone's radar screen. A 2003 study by the Federal Trade Commission found that identity theft affects almost 10 million consumers a year. Most states have enacted their own identity theft laws to assist law enforcement fight this crime.
When Congress criminalized identity theft in October 1998, it directed the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish a national program that included a centralized complaint and education service for victims of identity theft. Today, the FTC's Identity Theft Program attacks the crime on three fronts: it coordinates victim assistance and education efforts; it assists law enforcement by providing investigative resources and facilitating information sharing; and it promotes prevention efforts and best practices through industry outreach. These resources can make it easier for police to work with victims and investigate the crime. (continued on page 38)
What's New
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act), a new federal law, provides identity theft victims with important new rights and remedies. Although the identity theft provisions are mostly directed at victims' recovery, they affect how police officers deal with this pernicious crime. The law makes police reports more important than ever as a tool to help victims recover. That is because the new rights and remedies-such as blocking fraudulent trade lines on credit reports and obtaining the suspect's credit application-are available only to victims who present a police report to help prove that they are victims of fraud.
One provision of the FACT Act that simplifies the investigation of identity crime relates to the documents used to open fraudulent accounts. For example, if a company extends credit to a suspect using the victim's personal information, the victim now can obtain the identity theft related transaction records at no charge from that company-but only if the victim provides a copy of a police report and other required documentation. Law enforcement also benefit because investigators can get these documents without a subpoena if a victim authorizes, in writing, that the business send a copy of the records directly to the officer.
Police reports are the first step in helping identity theft victims clear their names and recover from identity theft. Here's what happens after a victim obtains a police report:
· Credit bureaus must block the reporting of inaccurate information identified by the victim as resulting from identity theft.
· Businesses where fraudulent accounts were opened must give victims (and police, at the victim's written request) copies of applications and business records relating to transactions that the victim identifies a ...

Threat finance is an enabling factor of crime and terrorism, and therefore, a challenge to both national and international security. The integration of global financial systems, as well as technological innovation and proliferation, has reduced barriers to threat finance and money laundering while making it difficult for authorities to detect or disrupt these illicit operations.
The American Security Project has compiled this presentation to provide an overview of threat finance and the methods used to launder money, as well as measures aimed at countering these activities.

Cate Zovod, Near
When it comes to opening a new QSR location, the decision around site selection is critical — and the wrong decision can be extremely costly. For a QSR looking to significantly expand to new locations, the stakes are even higher. Founded in 1959, Little Caesars has been a popular pizza chain in the U.S. for decades. Having successfully responded to new consumer behavior in recent years, the chain is poised for rapid expansion across the U.S. and other growing markets like Canada and Mexico. With a goal to maximize ROI on the new locations, the company had to identify and prioritize sites for their new stores in a smart and scalable way. Learn how they turned to human movement data to empower teams in the U.S. and internationally to create a strategic expansion plan.

Resale is ecologically beneficial, applies to many types of merchandise and is on-trend, but we are finding that the resale of goods online isn't as profitable as in store--think photo shoot, double ship and repackaging of items. So if done right at store level, can resale be more profitable, increase foot traffic with unique offerings, and boost customer loyalty? Learn from IKEA about their in-store resale experience, hear exclusive research from WD Partners and see visual renderings that show how areas of resale can be executed in several types of merchandise categories.

You may know it as smart speaker, or the voice that tells jokes to your kids. You may think it’s a marketing channel, or only available through Big Tech.
Think again. A number of leading retailers know conversational artificial intelligence – voice assistance -- as a technology that is creating operational efficiencies (from warehouse to store), aiding employee retention, and lifting brand affinity. A technology that’s not only on the roadmap, but in implementation. (And in ways you may not expect.)
Join industry leader Vicki Cantrell and top executives from retail and entertainment as she pulls back the covers on the value of voice and retail, and explores the questions you’d ask: what’s real, what’s not, and what’s next? Where and how is this better than what we’re doing now? How do we protect the privacy of our customers – and our own data? How do we get started, and with whom?
