SCO6072

Contemporary topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) applications to managing supply chains and operations and supply chain digitalization is a major focus of the course. The course prepares students to develop capabilities for: (i) making well-informed technology choice decisions; (ii) managing effectively the development and implementation of technologies; and (iii) engaging collaboratively in problem solving during technology development and implementation. The central question around which the course is organized is: How can existing and emerging technologies, and the related processes and people issues, be managed to design and sustain reliable, responsive, resilient, and responsible (4R) supply chains? Implications of globalization for managing technologies in supply chains will be a theme that will run through the entire duration of the course. The course adopts an end-to-end view of supply chains grounded in specific industry sectors (including non-profit and governmental sectors) to examine, in-depth, decisions related to the development, implementation, and exploitation of technologies strategically.
