This issue focuses on current applications of the role of supply chain management in business marketing strategy. In particular, it applies to Global Supply Chain of input of raw material in the manufacture of business goods and services.

Business marketers invest considerable financial and human resources in creating supply chains to deliver products or services as promised and be considered as the supplier of choice.
