Tompkins Associates Launches Global Supply Chain Podcast Series

Raleigh, NC, August 19, 2008 -- Tompkins Associates, the leading provider of global end-to-end supply chain solutions, has launched a new Global Supply Chain Podcast series. The first podcast in the series, Stop Debating Globalization: It's a Reality, debuts today.

This initial podcast shares insights on how some of the biggest players in the global marketplace are winning the game and why large and small corporations alike should embrace globalization. Jim Tompkins, President and CEO, notes in the first episode that globalization is like gravity. He says, "Whether you like gravity or agree with gravity is not relevant: Gravity is. Much in the same way you can either like or dislike globalization -- it really does not matter. Globalization just is. It's a reality."

Tompkins Associates' podcasts educate business executives on the advantages of adopting a global supply chain strategy, and any company that makes, buys, sells, or moves products will want to hear the series.

Offered in mp3 format, the podcasts will feature new topics on the first and third Tuesday of every month. For updates, be sure to subscribe to Tompkins' Podcast Feed or visit http://www.tompkinsinc.com/podcast.
