The growing global economy has redefined the dynamics of competition for modern organizations.

'World Class' is the only way I can describe the course. The faculty, facilities, and curriculum vastly exceeded my expectations! I am leaving Stanford with concepts, practices, examples, and friendships that will have value immediately and for years to come. Every concept presented has relevance and opens the mind to the reality that supply chain is the battleground of the E-revolution and the 21st century.
