About the SCM Research Community

SCM Research Community

The SCM Research Community is a partnership between the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston (USA) and TruEconomy Consulting in Tiel (Netherlands) to take supply chain management to a higher level. The MIT/TruEconomy Research Program is targeted to bring together business professionals, academics, researchers and practitioners to develop ideas, practical principles and critical thinking in the area of supply chain management.

One of the key activities within this membership is participating in the research project by completing the research survey. The outcome of all research conducted together is exclusively shared with our SCM Research Community , which currently counts almost 250 supply chain executives.
