BUAD 465 - Managing Supply Chains in a Digital Economy

Fall or Spring (1.5) Staff Prerequisite(s): BUAD 350. (Not offered 2012- 2013)

Over the last five years, technology, specifically the WEB, has revolutionized the way firms do business with each other. The usual stumbling blocks of poor information availability: incompatible organizational structures and information systems, and the high cost of collaboration are being “blown to bits” by tailored supply chain initiatives and web-centric software. This course will explore these initiatives and tools that firms are using to manage supply chains and B2B integration.
