  • How marketing strengthens the company's competitive position and builds internal and external relationships that support operational efficiency
  • How HR is directly or indirectly related to the supply chain
  • Why integrating financial services into supply chain management is about finding new opportunities for cost reductions
• The conclusion should summarize your key points.
