Old paradigm - Firm gained synergy as a vertically integrated firm encompassing the ownership and coordination of several supply chain activities. Organisational cultures emphasised short-term, company focused performance.
New paradigm - Firm in a supply chain focuses activities in its area of specialisation and enters into voluntary and trust-based relationships with supplier and customer firms.

8. Importance of Supply Chain Management
For supply chain management to be successful firms must work together by sharing information on things like
Demand forecasts
Production plans
Production changes
New marketing strategies
New technologies employed
Purchasing plans
Delivery dates

9. Importance of Supply Chain Management (continued)
Firms using Supply Chain Management:
Start with key suppliers
Move on to other suppliers, customers, and logistics services
Integrate second tier suppliers and customers (second tier refers to the customer’s customers and the supplier’s suppliers)
From the case study
When considering the case study, one notices the significance of supply chain management in a global organisation like Starbucks. When Starbucks’ management wanted to investigate where their costs were coming from, they did not consult the financial department, but instead appointed a new supply chain manager to investigate the situation. This manager was able to increase operational efficiency and cut costs by realigning the supply chain with Starbucks’ organisational goals.

Integration Elements:
Supply Chain Process Integration - when supply chain participants work to achieve common goals. This requires intra-firm functional integration, with efforts to change attitudes &
Supply Chain Performance Measurement - Crucial for firms to know if procedures are working as expected. Also to ensure all functions are working to achieve a common goal.
High level supply chain performance will occur when strategies at each firm fit well with overall supply chain strategies
