16 Career Clusters



Acquisitions/SCM brand-name recognition lower than Accounting, Marketing, Finance, MIS, Engineering.



Need to enhance the SCM field to employers as the core value-add in shaping, setting up and improving infrastructure of all activities



Promotion needed at all levels: individual programs, institutions, the “field” level

20



There is a tremendous perception gap about the concept/content of the “SCM field” between academics and practitioners.



Case in point: GE hires engineers and trains them in concepts that we teach to our SCM graduates in business schools.



25 executives from various industries, almost unanimous concern that recruiters don’t know exactly what SCM graduates can do. When they know, they hire SCM graduates over engineers in many careers.

4/25/2020    

Make Acquisitions & SCM a household name with “employers” Champion the cause of Acquisitions & SCM within B-Schools and across campus: not “just as a research/academic” but “as a practical discipline with ultimate value-add to the economy and society” Make Acquisitions & SCM a household name in “community colleges ” Make Acquisitions & SCM a household name in “K-12”: Why should high-school students and counselors equate business education with “just” accounting, marketing, and finance?

SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION

“Our job is less about moving paperwork and more about moving knowledge. It is less about bending metal and more about integrating systems. It is about joint and integrated endeavors.” -Department of Defense Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Kenneth J. Krieg, speaking at the September National Defense Industrial Association luncheon about his plans to adopt new business practices to improve supply chain management.
