About the Research<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

GSCI white papers are produced through the Advanced Supply Chain Collaborative (ASCC)<\/a><\/strong>\u2014a first-of-its-kind initiative that brings together University of Tennessee faculty and senior executives from leading organizations to tackle the most pressing challenges in supply chain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research is led by expert faculty alongside industry veterans\u2014including professionals from Amazon, Colgate-Palmolive, Cummins, Pfizer, Schneider Electric, and others\u2014and developed through rigorous data collection, executive interviews, and collaborative working sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASCC’s impact spans three areas: advancing innovation for industry partners, enriching faculty research and teaching, and producing insights primed for publication in top-tier academic and media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All white papers are available for free. A brief registration\u2014name and email\u2014gives you instant access and keeps you informed of new research as it publishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
