摘要：As companies are moving towards increased global competitiveness, the strategic issues surrounding supply chain management increasingly demands attention of firms for cost reduction, increased quality, improved customer service and continuity of supply which significantly elevates supply management stature within organisations. The MSME units act as a catalyst for our economic development, therefore it is important to analyse the various supply chain practices undertaken by them.
其他摘要：When Carl Wellman (1971) introduced the reasoning-type conduction, he endorsed a dialectical view on natural language argumentation. Contemporary scholarship, by contrast, treats conductive argument predominantly on a product view. Not only did Wellman’s reasons for a dialectical view thus fall into disregard; a product-treatment of conduction also flouts the standard semantics of ‘argument’. Attempting to resolve these difficulties, our paper traces Wellman’s preference for a dialectical view to the role of defeasible warrants. These act as stand-ins for (parts of) value hierarchies that arguers of normal suasory inclination find acceptable. We also improve on extant ways of diagramming conduction and distinguish two of its structural variants.
