Q3, If I understand the DB right! Marketing professionals care about and participate in supply chain decisions to take some form of action, or decisions to organize the product or services. In other words to decide what will be the manufacturing material, where the factory will be and what location of the warehouse. I would think the small business would be at an advantage because of cost of having a warehouse, less material than the large business. The smaller companies would still have some form of resources, they just wouldn't have to worry so much about bigger purchases like the larger companies. I hope I answered this DB right?
Q4, I believe that marketing professionals care about and participate in supply chain decisions because theses important decisions reflect directly on the products/services that the marketing professionals are attempting to sell. Decisions made by the supply chain personnel include; product development, manufacturing and logistics. All of these factors effect the cost of the goods sold which in turn can play an important role in the strategic marketing plan set forth by marketing professionals.
