Description
The purpose of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Ph. D research and how general research in the field of supply chain management and operations is being conducted in 2017. In order to gain a greater understanding, this thesis contains summaries and personal perspectives on four different supply chain management and operations seminars from visiting professors. There is also an expanded examination of the research area from the fourth seminar, process compliance. Multiple literature sources were used to construct a perspective on process development, process standardization, and process compliance origins and current state.

Description
The purpose of this thesis paper is to discuss the life cycle curves of today’s innovation-driven digital services and how these life cycles can be extended. To decide on this subject, four supply chain management seminars were attended and summarized, and personal notes were added. After analysis of the seminars, the paper will dive deeper into the topic discussed by Professor Adegoke Oke of Arizona State University in his lecture on innovation-driven life cycle curves and their exemplification of the shark fin curve. This paper will analyze the nature of product life cycle curves, discuss three PC games and their life cycle curves, and evaluate the best methods for creating life cycle extension.

Description
My journey through Arizona State University did not start with Supply Chain Management. I began as a Finance Major, but something did not resonate with me. I eventually switched my major to Supply Chain Management in my Junior year, after taking Professor Eddie Davila’s SCM 300 course. The hands-on nature of supply chain management, as well as the broad range of industries it covered, got me hooked. For my alternative thesis, I had to attend four seminars for WPC supply faculty, then write summaries on them. I would then choose one of the four to further extrapolate on and do independent research. However, after attending only two, the COVID-19 outbreak occurred, leading to the cancellation of the remaining seminars. As a result, I was faced with two choices; abandon the thesis project entirely, or work with what I had. With the approval of my director, I decided on the following outline. The first part of this paper will summarize and reflect on the two faculty lectures I was able to attend. The second part of the paper will look at the way COVID-19 has impacted the supply chain of a local business, SilverTree Dentistry. I will use information gathered from the dental office, supplier sites, and online sources as well as from the two faculty lectures to develop a cohesive plan of potential action for SilverTree to better equip themselves and their supply chain to handle the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how to respond as a small business in future times of crisis. This paper’s focus is on how small business supply chains are disrupted in their areas of supplier selection and supplier power, specifically how those areas affect the business’s spend.

Description
In the realm of supply chain management, student organizations play a crucial role in shaping the future leaders of the field. The Supply Chain Management Association at ASU (SCMA at ASU) stands as a testament to the impact such organizations can have. Recognized as a powerhouse within the highly competitive landscape of student-run organizations at the W.P. Carey School of Business, SCMA at ASU not only facilitates networking opportunities but also serves as a channel for industry insights, professional growth, and the development of an engaged student community.
The purpose of this guidebook is to distill the collective experience of SCMA at ASU into a comprehensive resource that can guide and inspire the establishment, maintenance, and growth of student-led supply chain organizations at universities nationwide.
To create the most informative guidebook possible, this resource will not only draw upon the rich experiences and achievements of SCMA at ASU but also incorporate insights and information from supply chain student organizations across various universities. This inclusion ensures a diverse range of successful strategies, innovative practices, and practical advice, reflecting what has worked best for these organizations in different academic and operational contexts. By pooling knowledge from a broad spectrum of successful SCM student organizations, this guidebook aims to serve as an essential tool for any university looking to enhance its supply chain program through student-led initiatives, fostering a new generation of supply chain professionals equipped to navigate and lead in an ever-changing global landscape.
