The typical admission profile for this program includes IT professionals and both supply chain and non-supply chain business professionals interested in gaining a breadth of understanding regarding IT-enabled strategic supply chain management and the principal components associated with procurement and supplier management, manufacturing and operations management, and distribution and logistics management. Globalization and outsourcing are among the trends addressed.
