Welcome to the Department of Marketing and Logistics at the University of Tennessee. Our programs are ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, Business Week, and Supply Chain Management Review. As frontrunners of demand and supply integration, we pride ourselves on our commitment to theoretically based, practically applied business research. This commitment is most evident in our Demand and Supply Integration Forums, three strategic think tanks that bring our faculty together with executives from some of the world’s most progressive companies.
These forums provide our students with the opportunity to collaborate with real-world business before leaving the classroom. They offer real-time challenges and internship opportunities as well as research direction. This relationship gives students a conceptual advantage, for they enter the workforce ready to partner demand management with supply chain management.
Extending beyond university initiatives, we are seriously committed to diversity and globalism, and our graduates are prepared to enter the global market. From department faculty to course curriculum and study-abroad programs, we strive to reflect the ever changing world market. Our department has 23 faculty members and five staff members, including the director of global business initiatives, who are all devoted to giving our students the best education possible. That commitment means that the department remains dynamic, constantly striving toward greater excellence in teaching, research and service.
Our department’s dedication to deliver quality instruction is manifest in recent College of Business Administration and university teaching awards. In addition, we have raised the bar for acceptable instruction. Outside the usual university evaluation process, each faculty member’s teaching is observed and reviewed by peers. Any doctoral student who teaches must complete a semester-long course in preparation for the classroom. We want to be sure our students at the undergraduate, graduate, and executive levels are receiving the best value for their investment.
Part of providing quality instruction is remaining on the forefront of research in our disciplines. You will notice our department’s commitment to research through the number of publications produced by faculty and Ph.D. students each year. Several faculty members also serve as editors or as part of an editing team for periodicals or books. Our diligence has been recognized and supported with five chair or professorship positions devoted to funding further research projects.
