Abstract

Describes the role of intermediaries in the Coordinating and Managing Supply Chains elective course at HBS. Contrary to many observers' predictions, intermediaries have continued to survive and even grow. This module examines the ways in which intermediaries can add value to a supply chain. Also closely examines how intermediaries reduce labor and capital costs and align incentives in supply chains.

Keywords
