Abstract:
This review paper examines the impact of digital technology on supply chain management (SCM) education, highlighting opportunities and challenges. Digital integration offers enhanced learning experiences through simulations and gamification, fosters skill development for the digital age, and increases access and flexibility in SCM education. However, challenges such as the digital divide, quality assurance, and keeping pace with technological advancements hinder effective integration. Recommendations for educators and institutions include bridging the digital divide, implementing robust quality assurance mechanisms, and fostering collaboration with industry partners. Future research directions include investigating the long-term outcomes of digital SCM education on career readiness and industry innovation. By addressing challenges and maximizing opportunities, educators can prepare students for success in the digital-centric supply chain sector.
