In today's highly competitive environment, the management of purchasing, operations, quality, transportation, inventory, scheduling, and information flows are ever more critical to an organization's ability to satisfy customers and create a competitive advantage. Whether sourcing from non-domestic suppliers, outsourcing business functions, or attempting to market goods and services to consumers in other areas of the world, today's business leaders need a detailed understanding of all the challenges and opportunities arising from a supply chain that is fundamentally global.
As the economy becomes increasingly global, demand for supply chain professionals continues to grow.
Supply chain professionals are a critical link in the value chain for goods. They are experts at purchasing components and finished goods, deciding on manufacturing and warehouse locations, and determining inventory and transportation strategies for worldwide product flows. Students majoring in global supply chain management at the School of Business develop the highly valued skills that suppliers, manufacturers, and retail buyers of goods worldwide demand. Our global supply chain management major focuses on global business and prepares students for success.
