A New Publication Led by Excelia Offers a Practical, Case-Based Approach to Supply Chain Management
Co-edited by Morgane Fritz, HDR Professor at Excelia, alongside international academic researchers, this book, published by Springer, is aimed at students, academics and industry professionals alike.
Developing expertise in supply chain through real-world case studies
One of the book’s key strengths lies in its structure: 21 case studies that immerse learners in real-life business challenges. The topics addressed reflect the current transformations shaping organisations:
- sustainability and responsible purchasing
- supply chain resilience
- digitalisation and data-driven decision-making
- supplier risk management
- circular economy
These cases provide insight into how organisations make strategic trade-offs under multiple constraints and evolve in uncertain environments.
Developing key skills for the careers of tomorrow
Beyond theoretical knowledge, the case-based approach aims to develop skills that are directly applicable in the workplace: analytical thinking, decision-making, understanding global challenges and effective stakeholder collaboration.
For students, this represents a practical way to prepare for careers in purchasing, logistics and supply chain management—functions that are now central to organisational performance.
An integrated supply chain expertise within Excelia programmes
This publication is part of a well-structured academic environment at Excelia Business School. The department dedicated to supply chain, purchasing and project management brings together 15 international academic researchers and covers a wide range of expertise, including logistics, sustainability, digital transformation and project management.
This expertise is embedded across the School’s programmes as well as in specialised MSc degree. Each year, several thousand hours of teaching are delivered in these areas, closely aligned with market expectations.
An immersive pedagogy to better understand business realities
The book also reflects a teaching approach that is firmly established at Excelia: case-based learning. Through its Case Lab, the School designs and develops case studies that are directly integrated into its teaching.
This method enables students to engage with complex, real-world situations and to develop a professional mindset from the outset of their studies.
