  • ANALYSIS, DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS (35%):


A comprehensive literature review base on at least 10 (TEN) resources that can be a mixture of academic and/or non-academic sources is required to:

4. Show detailed ‘Information Flows’ in the selected retail supply chain;


5. Describe the procurement activities and logistics services;

8. Consider the gaps/problems/issues/challenges that you have found in the literature and determine if your selected company is facing (or will face) similar issues.
