Abstract
Supply Chain Integration is a vast field of study, and a Google Scholar search will reveal more than 2.7
million publications in this space. This document captures some of the core concepts when the degree
of integration of a primary industry supply chain, such as the wool industry, is evaluated. The book
was developed after final year students in Massey University’s Logistics and Supply Chain
Management Programme conducted an in-depth review as part of a formal assessment. The content
of the book is of a scholarly nature and caution should be practiced before any guidelines are
implemented. The students studied the literature, reports, newspaper articles and accessed
information on the internet. However, the most valuable source of information was through
interviews with industry representatives, most noteworthy, an interactive question and answer
session with wool exporter, Mr Ryan Cosgrove.
