SUMMARY
Minority business enterprises (MBEs) are a rapidly growing and increasingly important segment of the U.S. and global economy. From 1997-2002, the total number of U.S. companies increased by 2 million1 and over 50% of this increase was accounted for by minority-owned firms2. Minority-owned businesses are diverse, participating in a wide variety of industries – financial services, health care, construction, transportation, and other services. However, despite impressive growth in the number of U.S. minority firms, MBEs must increase their size, scale, and the economic viability of their firms if they are to compete effectively in the global economy.

This paper sets forth the business case for how MBEs can grow their companies, and cope with the challenges of national and global competition, through their participation and mastery of supply chain strategies.
