  Critical Issues Reports

Critical Issues Reports are primary and secondary research on critical issues identified by sponsor companies or CAPS Research.

Critical Issues Reports are the output of Critical Issues Partnership Events and include research and case studies on select procurement and supply topics. While event attendance is for sponsor companies and select invitees, all the Reports are available to the public, published in electronic format on the CAPS Research web site.
