Research on the Construction of Supply Chain Management for Undergraduate Programs at Chinese Applied Universities

Abstract

At present, China regards supply chain innovation and application as a new national strategy, which leads to a large demand for applied supply chain professionals. In order to provide useful references for applied universities that have already set up the supply chain management (SCM) program and promote the healthy development of Chinaʼs application-oriented SCM for undergraduates, this paper discussed the necessity and feasibility of setting up the SCM program in Chinese universities. In addition, it analyzes the current situation of SCM programs from three aspects involving approval, type of universities, and issues of application-oriented undergraduate. Based on practical experience in specialty development, in this paper, specific measures were shown from three dimensions: requirements of knowledge, ability, and quality, curriculum setting, and teaching material design.
