BMGT473

Prerequisite: BMGT370, BMGT372 and BMGT471. Credit only granted for: BMGT478D or BMGT473. Formerly: BMGT478D. This second course of the Supply Chain Consulting Fellows program is designed to build upon the skills and concepts learned in the initial course to produce polished, skilled consultants who can build a consulting project from its initial stages and carry it through to a set of actionable initiatives and conclusive results. The initial component of this course will be to enhance and complete the started projects in the previous semester's course so that each research project can be formally presented to the project sponsor, i.e., the Board of Advisors for the Intermodal Association of North America. Student teams will serve as project consultants and tackle a real-world problem presented by a designated firm. Students will also participate in a national conference devoted to Intermodal/Logistics/Supply Chain issues. The conference will involve individual academic sessions and reports by the students based on the content provided. The class will also include several Executive Leader sessions. Restricted to Supply Chain Management Fellows.
