This study aims to accomplish in depth research on the disruptive innovations that have occurred in the supply chain and speak to ways those innovations have helped develop the modern supply chain. From here, the study looks into technologies and processes that are potential disruptive innovations likely to shape the future supply chain. Because this is an alternative supply chain thesis project, it is prefaced with reflections on four lectures on various topics. The goal of the lectures was to find one topic I found interesting and research that topic further within the body of the paper. Through the process of attending lectures and researching innovative technologies/processes, I have gained a deeper understanding of the development of supply chain. Studying what makes an innovation disruptive and being aware of these influencers will help me in my professional career. I will have greater potential to make a significant impact on the company I will work for from a strategic standpoint. This will be due my strong grasp of future trends in supply chain and an enhanced ability to create valuable change. In order to stay relevant, organizations need to stay on top of new trends and create new processes, and I want to be as equipped with this knowledge as possible while entering my professional career.
