A. Review and evaluation of the 5 strategic endstates

"Thank you for your willingness to participate in our joint Intel-MIT ISCM event this coming June 12-13. The event will bring together ISCM sponsors with leading supply chain researchers from academia to explore The Future of E-Business and the Internet Economy in a workshop that we will conduct. We will share visions of the future among the participants, and will also use a team-based, "hands-on" workshop that uses Future Mapping® (process developed by NerveWire of Boston), a scenario planning process, to explore and understand how business models and strategies will change in response to the demands of e-business. We expect that we will all will learn through exchanges with each other, and through consideration of various future 'endstates,' identification of the constraining issues and choices among the tradeoffs required to achieve the 'endstate.' Before you arrive, please review the attached document describing the five 'strategic endstates' and consider what 'endstate' you may see evolving. Having awareness of this will make for a more productive session for all. Please feel free to call Jim Rice at MIT (617.258.8584) or Mary Murphy-Hoye at Intel (916.356.5785) if you have any questions about these."

B. Prepare responses to a set of questions (5 for practitioners, 4 for researchers)

Practitioners

1. What is your company's supply chain/network vision in the Internet economy?
2. What are the CURRENT barriers/issues preventing transformation to this vision?
3. What are the FUTURE barriers/issues preventing transformation to this vision?
4. What are the key research opportunities (current/future) to support this transformation?
5. How would you like our research supply chain (universities) to collaborate (with us/with each other) to enable this vision?

Researchers

1. What is your supply chain/network vision in the Internet economy? [e.g. from a business, technology, operation, people, etc. perspective]
2. What do you think are the CURRENT barriers/issues preventing transformation to this vision?
3. What do you think are the FUTURE barriers/issues preventing transformation to this vision?
4. What are your current/potential research focus areas and how do they fit with your vision?
