Additional Course Details:

Hello and welcome to ADMN 845 as we explore the world of Supply Chain Management. In today’s global economy, supply chains play a critical role in shaping business success, resilience, and customer satisfaction. Understanding how they work and how to improve them is more important than ever for business leaders.

Throughout the term, students will collaborate on group projects, applying course concepts to practical supply chain scenarios. In addition, weekly team-based Discussion Circles will provide a structured space for reflection, analysis, and peer-to-peer learning. These short, focused team discussions encourage critical thinking, application of ideas, and engagement with course materials in a collaborative format. Discussion Circles are in essence Discussion Boards except instead of communicating online you will be meeting and talking with each other on a Zoom/Teams call.

Along with selected free articles and video content, this course uses the Cengage eText Supply Chain Management: A Logistics Perspective by Langley, Novack, Gibson, and Coyle. If you have purchased Cengage Unlimited for another course during the Fall 2025 semester, this book is included with your subscription at no additional cost.

Whether you have experience in Supply Chain Management or are curious about this career track, we're going to have an exciting semester learning new skills and providing you with new experiences in the field. Hope to see you in this course!

Note: Please wait to purchase course materials until the start of the semester when additional instructions will be provided by the instructor on Canvas.
