Supply Chain Management Executive Guest Speaker Series
In the Fall, the Broad MBA Program offers a Supply Chain Executive Guest Speaker Series. This one credit course taught by Joe Sandor is designed to bring real-world experience as well as networking opportunities to MBA students. The Guest Speakers represent a variety of industry perspectives and come from purchasing, operations and logistics backgrounds.
Students are not the only ones who benefit from this exchange. The program has been well-received by the companies and individuals who visit and speak with the class. Guest speakers get the opportunity to:
- Discuss current trends with 1st and 2nd year MBA students from the top supply chain management program
- Brand themselves and their company in the ongoing talent war in recruiting
- Get exposure to MSU faculty experts
The class meets on campus six times during the Fall semester from 6-8pm. The class is structured so there is a 50-minute talk and a 10-minute break followed by an hour long Q & A period.
