Welcome Remarks from the President
There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in supply chain management research. Our skillsets are increasingly important in a world struggling with dimishing resources and the increased complexity of global supply chains. The college of supply chain management was created to bring together supply chain practicioners and researchers from around the world to share ideas and supply chain challenges. To support the mission of our college, our board will continue to serve our community of SCM members (a special interest group of POMS). (As a POMS member, you are invited to join this college when you renew your POMS membership.)
I am delighted to let you know that Gal Raz (UVA) is organizing the 2012 College of Supply Chain Management Student Paper Competition. We encourage PhD students to enter this competition.
Our college aspires to thrive and we welcome your thoughts and suggestions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
Mark Ferguson
University of South Carolina
