Smeal Students Study SCM in Italy
Over the summer, 23 Penn State Smeal College of Business students spent six weeks in Florence, Italy, studying supply chain and management from an Italian perspective. The students studied with Norm Aggon, assistant department chair and instructor in operations and supply chain management and Ron Johnson, senior instructor in management and organization.
The course was called, “Extreme Global Makeover: Integrating Supply Chain Applications, Managerial Skills, and Italian Culture for Personal Success.” The course provided students an opportunity to visit four different Italian companies and learn to assess their manufacturing operations in terms of supply chain management and sustainability.
