Research Tracks
The center will initially focus on four different program research "tracks":
- Agility and competitive strategy
- Digitized supply chains
- Digitized Governance and Coordination
- Transformational IT management
Several key Broad School faculty will direct these research tracks: From the Marketing and Supply Chain Management Department, The Eli Broad University Professor of Business Roger Calantone and The John H. McConnell Chair in Business Administration David J. Closs, and from the Accounting and Information Systems Department, Professor Brian Pentland and Associate Professor Cheri Speier. The center will be directed by Frederick Rodammer, Supply Chain Management Professor of Practice.

"I believe the digital enterprise is inevitable. The winners are going to be those who proactively start the move that way versus those who wait for it to happen to them. CLODE will provide it's true value if it can help the winners get there proactively."
