Babson College Launches Undergraduate Concentration in Retail Supply Chain Management
Babson College will launch a new undergraduate concentration in Retail Supply Chain Management in Spring 2007. Babson's Michael levy, the Charles Clarke Reynolds Professor of Retail Marketing, developed the concentration and is its faculty director.

According to PRNewsWire, no other New England institution offers a program like Babson's --- one that integrates the holistic business disciplines Babson is noted for with the growing needs of the retail industry. "The retail economy continues to expand globally," says Levy, "If a Babson student has 'supply chain' on their resume...they're going to get a job."

The new concentration requires a minimum of 16 credits with two required courses in Retailing Management and Supply Chain Management. The concentration also focuses electives on four career paths:

* Corporate Retail Management -- store management operations,
merchandising, sales, and brand management;
* Analytical Retail Intelligence -- marketing research, analyzing sales
trends, using scanner and panel data used by major retailers, firms that
sell data to major retailers, retail software providers, and retail
consulting firms.
* Retailing for Entrepreneurs -- for those who want to start their own
business or return to established family businesses.
* Supply Chain Operations -- formerly known in the industry as logistics
and distribution -- now includes the ever-expanding management of the
flow of goods/services, information, and financials from raw materials
to the consumer.
