Academy
Over the last 5 years, Supply Chain Asia has been able to study and get involved in training the industry. Over time, it became obvious there was a lack of skills & experiential based training in our industry. In the upcoming months, we will be launching various programs under our Supply Chain Asia Academy structure. These include a 5-days residential Supply Chain Executive Development Program (International), 3-days Supply Chain Executive Development Program (In-country), Specialist Training in Supply Chain Management and some joint programs with institutions in various countries in Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, India and China. If you are keen to partner us, please email us at admin@supplychainasia.com. For about the Academy, click here. 
Britain’s largest retailer, Tesco, plans to open 23 new hypermarkets in China in this fiscal year, nine of which will be in new ‘lifespace’ malls.
“We will continue to expand in locations where we already have a presence and into other parts of the country. From Shanghai, we are pushing out west to Nanjing and managed to settle in Anhui last year,” a senior Tesco executive told Supply Chain Asia Magazine.
The retailer – which has a 30 percent share of the UK grocery market -- currently has 81 hypermarkets and three lifespace malls in China, as well as eight convenience stores in Shanghai. Lifespace malls are multi-storey outlets of Tesco stores and other stores and services.
Tesco has said it will spend US$3.9bn over the coming five years on its expansion in China.
