Using Table 3-8 on page 68 of the textbook to answer the questions shown below.
Evaluate the financial performance of each company based on the various metrics discussed in Section 3.1, such as ROE, ROA, profit margin, asset turns, APT, C2C, ART, INVT, and PPET.
Can you explain the differences you see in their performance based on their supply chain strategy and structure?
Compare the metrics for each company with similar metrics for Amazon and Nordstrom from Table 3-1. Which metrics does each company perform better on?
What supply chain drivers and metrics might explain this difference in performance?
You need to use the Case Study Format for this assignment. The Case Study Format file can be found in the instructions of the Module 2 Case Study. Make sure you answer all four questions. I suggest that you show how you determined the financial values if you want partial credit if you make a mistake. For example a excel sheet with formulas is an excellent source. I will extend the time for the Module 2 Case Study until Wednesday at midnight, if you want to try again.
