ABSTRACT

The field of supply chain management is changing rapidly as new practices, concepts, and technologies are regularly implemented in practice to improve supply chain performance. The Association of Supply Chain Management (ASCM) publishes an annual list of the top 10 trends in supply chain management. Academic programmes must keep their curricula current to prepare students adequately to enter this dynamic field. We conducted an international survey of supply chain management academic programmes to determine the extent to which the current trends are covered in their curricula. Results showed that many trends are covered as at least a major topic in one course in most programmes, but some trends are not as pervasive. We provide recommendations for academic programmes looking to incorporate these top trends into their curricula.

摘要

随着新的实践、概念和技术在实践中定期实施以提高供应链绩效，供应链管理领域正在迅速变化。供应链管理协会 (ASCM) 每年发布供应链管理十大趋势列表。学术项目必须保持课程与时俱进，以便学生为进入这个充满活力的领域做好充分准备。我们对供应链管理学术课程进行了一项国际调查，以确定其课程涵盖当前趋势的程度。结果显示，在大多数课程中，许多趋势至少被作为一门课程的主要主题，但有些趋势并不那么普遍。我们为希望将这些热门趋势纳入其课程的学术项目提供建议。
