The intent of paper is to promote examination of viewpoints and interchange of opinions between students on Supply Chain . Each student will prepare a 5-8-minute overview of his/her paper and a power point present.
Students will be able to use whatever props necessary (within reason) and will be responsible for removing props immediately following his or her presentation. It goes without saying that students are expected to do their own work and/or give appropriate credit where another’s work has been used.
