Management Major—Supply Chain Management Track
Requirements
The supply chain encompasses activities associated with the sourcing, creation, and delivery of products
and services. For any business, doing these in the most effective and efficient way is critical, but few
accomplish this on their own. Instead, businesses establish networks of partners to form supply chains.
Changes in practices such as reliance on information technology, just-in-time inventory systems, global
sourcing, demand-driven strategies, and environmental sustainability initiatives combined with an
environment that features greater market volatility and risks have made supply chains more complex and
more strategically important. No matter how a company chooses to satisfy its customers and achieve
financial objectives, the supply chain is a potent strategic resource to help it deliver more value, lower
costs, and faster, more agile responses in the face of steady change.
