“To be successful, graduates must emerge with a balance of broad supply chain concepts, an understanding of how to analyze and model data, some exposure to global operations, and practical experience. I continue to witness too many graduates coming out with far too broad of a business background and not enough depth in supply chain. A graduate program would fill that gap”
