A group of French business students visiting from the NEOMA Business School recently completed coursework in The Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University.

The Global Supply Chains course in Tobin’s Department of Management is designed and taught by Jay Nathan, Ph.D., Professor of Management. The course covers concepts, strategies, processes, tools, and technologies applied to managing the end-to-end forward and backward flow of materials, information, and value in a supply chain for any business organization, regardless of their size, anywhere in the world. In today’s interconnected world, supply chains are global.

NEOMA Business School is a French business and management school founded in 2013, following the merger of Reims Management School and Rouen Business School. It has campuses in Paris, Reims (Champagne region), and Rouen (Normandy region). At the undergraduate level, NEOMA offers an international dual-degree program. It is one of about one percent of business schools in the world with triple accreditation from the three international accrediting agencies—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, Association of MBAs (AMBA Accreditation), and EQUIS.

“As a global university, in a metropolitan city, St. John’s is committed to the success of all our students and our visiting international students and scholars who comprise an essential part of our diverse community,” remarked Dr. Nathan.

After a few weeks of learning the foundational concepts and best business practices, NEOMA Business School students were allowed to work as a team on a variety of global supply chain projects that examined French and American companies. Research projects were submitted as scholarly papers and presented as part of the course requirements. At the course’s end, each student presented their unique research and received a certificate of achievement.
