I will provide a demo during the first week of class. Note: these slides help you understand all the examples we will use during semester. You still need to read text to prepare for the assignment and exams. Assignments/Simulations Assignments include reading papers and doing problems/simulations. Your efforts will be rewarded by grading the problems/simulations for completion. Receiving a complete score does not imply that all your solutions are correct. Late assignment will not be accepted without my prior approval. Solutions for most of the assigned problems will be presented in lecture. Some assignments will be submitted electronically through Blackboard. Paper Discussion In this course, your contribution to the paper discussions is important and will be evaluated. Many factors will be taken into account when evaluating your contribution. Things viewed positive include but are not limited to: use of supply chain knowledge or your own experience to support your argument; insightful comments on class topics or case questions; summarizing managerial insights from the paper readings, etc. Project/Case Presentations Each student will sign up for a case study in a 2-3 person team. The team will present the case, identify the supply chain issues, and provide recommendations to address case questions during the last week of the semester. Furthermore, the team will turn in a report summarizing the managerial insights and class findings after the class discussion. Selected Paper Readings (will be assigned and posted in Blackboard) 1.

Course Policies and Procedures Writing Standards Effective managers, leaders, and teachers are also effective communicators. Written communication is an important element of the total communication process. To this end, all papers, individual and group, must demonstrate graduate level writing and comply with the format requirements of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5 th Edit. 2001). Careful attention should be given to spelling, punctuation, source citations, references, and the presentation of tables and figures. EBTM 602-Introduction to Supply Chain Management 3

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, obtaining or giving aid on an examination, having unauthorized prior knowledge of an examination, doing work for another student, and plagiarism of all types.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the following: copying verbatim all or part of another s written work; using phrases, charts, figures, illustrations, or mathematical or scientific solutions without citing the source; paraphrasing ideas, conclusions, or research without citing the source; and using all or part of a literary plot, poem, film, musical score, or other artistic product without attributing the work to its creator. Students can avoid unintentional plagiarism by following carefully accepted scholarly practices. Notes taken for papers and research projects should accurately record sources to material to be cited, quoted, paraphrased, or summarized, and papers should acknowledge these sources.
