Global Supply Chain Concentration

Overview

Firms are looking to reduce total costs, enhance revenues, and meet the demands of their customer base. Global Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has emerged as a core competency for competing in the 21st century.

The GSCM concentration is flexible. It is designed for students who wish to pursue career depth in the field as well as for those who intend to develop more broad-based expertise in the area as a support for other careers. Many students take on a dual concentration with GSCM and another in their related areas of interest.
