Hello!
With recent scandals, such as the importation of tainted pet food into the <st1:country-region><st1:place>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region> from <st1:country-region><st1:place>China</st1:place></st1:country-region>, the supervision of firms' supply chains has become a hot topic in the business world of late.
Business school programs have been questioning how exactly to integrate this complex subject matter most affectively into the MBA curriculum. From a week-long discussion in core operations management courses to entire electives and even departments devoted to the concept-the instruction of Supply Chain Management seems to be in a state of transition.
February's Closer Look at Business Education investigates in what ways future business leaders are being introduced to Supply Chain Management and how some faculty are recognizing the opportunity to explore important social and environmental questions inherent within the subject.
I invite you to read the white paper, found here: http://www.aspencbe.org/documents/SCM2008.pdf.
Many thanks for your continued interest in our work.
