Technology, Innovation and Supply Chain Minor (RSM-MN-007)

The industry demand for supply chain discipline is expected to grow faster than any other sector for at least the next ten years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The supply chain is also the key discipline in the consulting sector. In addition, technology, including digitization, blockchain, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, and changing customer expectations push the supply chain profession to seek people who can pioneer advancements at the intersection of the supply chain and the data analytics with soft skills.  

The TISC minor can be combined with any minor or major, except the Business Analytics minor and the Entrepreneurship & Technology minor.
