The supply chain capstone project course (EBTM 881) includes an independent research or applied project in content areas related to supply chain management. Students work under the supervision of their faculty advisors to address a significant theoretical or applied problem in supply chain management. The completed project should clearly present the problem of the research subject investigated or applied project undertaken, its significance to theory and business practice, research of project background, a well-defined method, results or findings, and implications.
