The changes in capabilities, philosophies and techniques being
utilized in the private and public sectors will continue to make
logistics curricula design a challenge. This research study
utilized literature reviews to identify 8 competencies' required
for mid-level logistics leaders to succeed now and in the future.
Programs from ten academic institutions including AFIT and seven of
the top 10 programs were compared by analyzing their coverage of
the eight competencies. The research highlighted that all of the
schools are teaching the majority of the competencies. The programs
with MBAs provided a strong business foundation of supply chain
management/logistics courses. AFIT adequately addresses all of the
competencies except globalization and Finance/Cost Control. These
deficiencies can easily be corrected by making the International
logistics course a core course and adding a Finance/Cost Control
course. Taking a more interdisciplinary and inter-industry approach
to the future competencies identified in this research will ensure
students gain current, hands on education in the critical areas of
Networking/computing, supply chain management and logistics
operations.
