Commitment to Research
One of the Forum’s most important functions is supporting Stanford University’s commitment to
world-class research. We have the distinct advantage of being part of one of the world’s
foremost educational institutions and a membership that represents the latest thinking in global
supply chain strategy.
The topics examined by our faculty, students, and members are as diverse as the choices and
challenges faced by today’s global supply chain leaders. Participants in Forum research
represent disciplines including business, engineering, product design, environmental
sustainability, social responsibility, economics, medicine, and public health.
Companies are matched with faculty and students to work on innovative and challenging
research projects related to supply chain design and strategy. Research collaboration options
provide opportunities to disseminate results through journal articles, white papers, trade
publications, and public presentations.
