Earlier this week the All Things Digital 8 Conference was held in California and to no surprise Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple was on the agenda. What was surprising was his uttering of the words "supply chain" when asked about his knowledge of Apple's suppliers, more specifically talking about the recent suicides at FoxConn.
Watch below what he has to say:
Whenever I tell a friend, colleague or family member about my job as soon as the words "supply chain" are muttered I immediately see glassy eyes followed by a yawn or two. Little do they realize that every time they discard or recycle a carton of milk they are completing the end of the supply chain cycle. Without supply chains consumers would be stuck using products that they had to make or grow with their own two hands. Still not excited, well visit often and eventually you will be.
