Logistics Education: A Look At The Current State Of The Art and Science

---

Purpose – This paper aims to provide the results of a large-scale survey of courses dedicated to the field of logistics in higher education. This research
is unique because it represents the first large-scale study of both undergraduate and graduate logistics courses.
Design/methodology/approach – Content analysis was performed on each syllabus to identify the actual course coverage: requirements, pedagogy
and content emphasis. Content analysis is a descriptive approach to categorize data and the results may be limited by the categorizations used in
analysis. This aggregated information was utilized to compare historical research findings in this area with the current skills identified as important for
career success. These data provide input for gap analysis between offerings in higher education and those needs identified by practitioners.
Findings – Data gathering efforts yielded a sample of 118 logistics courses representing 77 schools and six different countries. The aggregate number
of topics covered in undergraduate courses totalled 95, while graduate courses covered 81 different topics. The primary evaluation techniques include
the traditional exams, projects and homework. Details regarding learning objectives and grading schema are provided along with a gap analysis
between the coverage of logistics courses and the needs identified by practitioners.
Originality/value – The goal is to use these data as a means of continuous improvement in the quality and value of the educational experience. The
findings are designed to foster information sharing and provide data for benchmarking efforts in the development of logistics courses and curricula in
academia as well as training and development by professionals in the field of logistics.
