Industry partners
In addition to faculty research and executive education, the Supply Chain Management Department at the W. P. Carey School of Business places a high value on industry partnerships. They are an essential component of our leadership role in finding solutions to current challenges and providing timely and pertinent education to our students based on industry needs.
We are interested in what practitioners do, why they do it, how they think about their business challenges, and how they use information to drive decisions.
Companies find value in partnering with ASU and the Department of Supply Chain Management as it provides an opportunity to connect with our students, other industry partners, and our faculty. The resulting relationship enables companies to have input into curriculum design, interact with our students, and drive forward thinking and unique research directions.
