Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management (MSCM)

The Department of Marketing & Supply Chain Management (MSCM) is a vibrant international group of junior and senior scholars dedicated to high-quality research and education with a strong drive for societal relevance.

Junior and senior faculty members are inspired by new societally-relevant thematic areas and innovative methodological approaches, contributing to emerging—often interdisciplinary—research themes like supply chain innovation, service management, value co-creation, food consumption, innovation ecosystems, digital marketing and data analytics.

Research findings are published in international top journals in the field. As a result, the department has a high ranking in research productivity in Marketing and Supply Chain Management.

The Department of MSCM is committed to developing and delivering high quality, state-of-the-art education in undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programs. MSCM is -like SBE- passionate about small group teaching in a problem-based setting (PBL). In all educational endeavours, the department integrates research and leverages industry developments.

To promote engagement among faculty, industry leaders, and students, the MSCM department is closely linked with high impact organizations, such as Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI), the Service Science Factory (SSF), the SBE Digital Experience Lab (DEXLab), the Brightlands Institute for Smart Society (BISS),  and the Maastricht Center for Robots (MCR).
