Our MGMT4103 course focuses on Supply Chain Management, a critical aspect of modern business operations. Our students are eager to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical situations, under the mentorship of industry professionals like yourself. This course is a field focused, student centric project. Students learn through applied field-experience, being designated as a Supply Chain Analyst for a real-world client.
