Gianmario Motta, University of Pavia
Pavia is near Milan, founded in 1361
- Had Volta as a professor
- 15,000 students, 13,000 in engineering
Problem: number of university students were dropping
- Decided to make a new major where students understood almost nothing, but almost everything
Understanding coming from a processes perspective
- Master's level, people coming from information technology or industrial engineering
Supply chain isn't a lot different from giving services in a telecommunications environment
Case studies, e.g. SCOR supply chain reference model
Key points:
- Normative application portfolio
- Two ways: can create a process, or document a process that already exists
Syllabus is similar to an engineering class
Uniquenesss:
- Hands-on: more labs than students
- Making engineers, people who can design
- Business awareness: not strategists, understand needs
