Academic Research
The Department of Supply Chain Management at the Haslam College of Business is a parent organization for the Global Supply Chain Institute. Its faculty members are among the most renowned scholars of supply chain in the world. Their research propels the field forward and provides unparalleled insight for UT students and corporate partners.
Every year, our top faculty members shape supply chain best practices, highlighting the latest trends and staying ahead of challenges. Their research productivity led to the Supply Chain Management Journal List ranking UT No.4 for publications in top publications, such as the Journal of Supply Chain Management, Journal of Business Logistics, and Journal of Operations Management.
“The professors at UT really set themselves apart. Not only are they constantly in contact with industry professionals in supply chain and throughout the C-suite, which allows them to stay relevant, but they also take the time to care and develop relationships with them so you can continue talking with them (which I do, by the way) even long after graduation.”
– Barbara Melvin, Chief Operating Officer, South Carolina Ports Authority
