SPJIMR , USC Marshall sign MoU to exchange students, ideas, in global supply chain

The memorandum of understanding signed between SPJIMR and USC Marshall establishes the relationship for students coming from SPJIMR to take classes, receive credit, and potentially graduate from USC Marshall’s Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management program (MSGSCM).

SP Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) has recently collaborated with USC Marshall. An agreement has been signed to open a degree program with the management institute in India. The collaboration is a part of Marshall’s longtime strategy of expanding its global opportunities and partnerships. The partnership will enable new possibilities for the school in India. This creative partnership offers the best of both worlds – a unique Indian pathway to a Marshall degree.

The collaboration also creates a much broader collaboration between the two institutions, including certificate opportunities, business delegations, and collaborative research for the Randall R. Kendrick Institute of Global Supply Chain Management, according to Nick Vyas, executive director for the Kendrick Institute and professor of data sciences and operations.

Considering the ongoing pandemic situation, the signing of the MoU took place virtually via an early-morning Zoom meeting between officials from both schools in late November. The agreement with SPJIMR also becomes part of the larger global strategy of the University of Southern California.

Expressing gratitude to a number of colleagues who helped in making the idea of a collaboration between the two schools a reality, Nick Vyas, executive director for the Kendrick Institute and professor of data sciences and operations said, “I must thank Professors Nandini Rajagopalan, Gareth James, Shantanu Dutta, Greys Sošic and Suh-Pyng Ku for their ongoing support and encouragement.”
