Make supply chain management your career choice: Great prospects, varied careers
Supply chain management—matching the supply of a product to demand on a global scale—is a career choice new to many students. It involves the management and understanding of all business activities involved in product supply from purchasing raw materials, to transporting them to their manufacturing destination, to distributing them to the final customer.
The global marketplace has redefined demand and supply—items are made down the road or on the other side of the world— making supply chain management even more critical to business today. Recruiters, even at the entry level, seek students with supply chain coursework from a dedicated supply chain program.
