As the instructor for this MBA class, you must supply the reading materials for your students to understand the current trends and issues for supply chain management. What are professional informative articles, literature reviews, and empirical articles that are best suited to teach your material and why?
Appropriate resources may include textbooks, scholarly research articles, reports on practitioner research, or videos. The key is selecting materials that are current, address the aspects of a topic you want to focus on, and are the appropriate level for your students. You should also be considering how the resources will fit together collectively to provide your students with a comprehensive view and understanding of what you are trying to teach.
Review the resources from the Topic Exploration Quickstart Literature Guide: Global Operations & Supply Chain Management. This guide presents current and relevant scholarly, academic, and practitioner resources related to supply chain management.
