CONCLUSION 3M is a great example of a company that has been able to reinvent itself over and over. Even though it was created for mining, which it soon failed at, it was able to pick itself back up and pioneer into new industries. This spirit is still what drives 3M today. Now, however, it is not products or fields that 3M is having to be innovative in, it is its supply chain. Internally, their supply chain was known to have “hairballs”, but for the past few years the company has been working on ways to fix them, starting with what they call super-hubs.
