      <description>We recognize how busy you are so we are asking for just 10 minutes of your time to explore issues that we believe you&#39;ll want to understand and act on in the near future. Without mincing words, each 10Minutes piece is designed to distill key information and insights on a corporate, legal, or regulatory topic relevant to your business, helping you set your compass in a landscape that is often difficult to negotiate. If we can make the journey easier for you, it will be 10 minutes well spent. Issues of 10Minutes will often be backed up by longer studies or white papers, available from this web site and in print. There we examine the issues in greater depth, for when you have more time.</description>

         <description><![CDATA[Global supply chains are caught in a perfect storm of rising bankruptcies, soaring debt, tight credit, and weak demand.  Even stable, cash-rich companies face increased risk of disruption because of innumerable interdependencies within and across industries.  But for such companies the current environment is also an opportunity to pause, and address supply chain vulnerabilities that got overlooked in better times.  This issue of 10Minutes discusses how companies can build more resilient supply chains during an economic downturn by identifying their most critical partners and strengthening those relationships for long-term advantage.]]></description>
