Volatility in finance, supply, and climate/demography are the primary factors behind corporate strategy, made visible through efforts to gain scale benefits and minimize risk.
At the CBS SCM Summit, Prof. Gammelgaard spoke on SCM challenges:

see windows of collaboration between divisions or separate entities
perform dynamic geographic analyses to allocate properly - which means to be flexible
