– More complex supply chains– More uncertainty– Increased competitive landscape

andsolving these issues requires creativity and innovation.

Why Supply Chain Management?I wanted to thank you for teaching SCM.

I work at XXX as an infrastructure manager and I have to keep forecasting storage every quarter for my servers. Up till now I kept pulling numbers out of the air, but now I am using the models that you taught us which is winning me praise from my managers.

Irrespective of what grade I get or what my GPA will be I am really starting to see how an MBA helps you. Thank you and thanks to Rutgers.
