Supply chain management is a relatively new and constantly evolving field, which results in an ongoing gap between what the field requires and people with the skills necessary to meet those requirements. While academic courses are one way to address this gap, some research suggests that such higher education programs are possibly contributing to, rather than closing, the talent gap. One study looked at 80-plus supply chain management syllabi from the Gartner Top 25 schools, the U.S News and World Report top supply chain programs, and others. Keywords from the syllabi were compared to job announcements for entry level supply chain management positions to determine if schools are teaching what the industry wants. In this session, learn what the syllabi analysis revealed, and how closely what's needed in the real world matches what is reflected in the college syllabi. The results of this research produced a common framework for teaching supply chain management at the undergraduate level, with the goal of preparing supply chain graduates to fill the ever-growing talent gap.
