Can Webplan Reconcile Planning and Execution? Part Two: Market Impact (3 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jul 1, 2004 Abstract : Increasingly, every user company's success is contingent upon its ability to make an almost immediate finished product or service delivery to customers. As supply chains become more dynamic and operate in near real-time, the lines between planning and execution continue to blur, which bodes well for their functional convergence. Thus, some supply chain execution (SCE) vendors have started to move beyond pure execution to offer some planning and optimization capabilities, often with the 'adaptive' moniker.

Business Strategy, Business Processes, and Business Systems (3 Pages)
by Olin Thompson
Jul 31, 2004 Abstract : Business strategy, a road map telling us how the business plans to be successful, does not guarantee success. Strategy execution requires business processes that do what the strategy calls for--and do it well. In today's automated world, these business processes rely on business systems. Therefore, a direct link exists between the success of business strategy and business systems. Poor systems are a frequent reason for the failure of a business strategy.
