Supply Chain Strategy

Catalog description

SCM 502 develops students' ability to understand strategic decisions across the end-to-end supply chain. This course takes a systems perspective to understand critical decisions in the supply chain that encompasses issues related to make, source, deliver and return of goods and services. It links these decisions to the firm¿s business strategy and financial outcomes. The course also connects these decisions to related research in supply chain management and emerging issues in practice. It takes a problem-driven approach to scholarship in supply chain management, where we examine problems in supply chain management, connect these problems to research, and explore new research questions to study. Students will learn critical decisions in supply chain management, key concepts to understand these decisions, and the ability to formulate new research questions.
