One of the biggest developments in world economies in recent years has been Supply Chain Management. Wikipedia defines “supply chain” as a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to costumer.

Michigan State University has the #1 program in the country for undergraduate studies in Supply Chain Management.
