【摘要】:This seminar is comprised of two parts. The first part discusses green/sustainable supply chains – a hot topic at the forefront of today’s supply chain management, and shares some of my current research interests and projects in this


 area. The second part explores a new direction of pedagogical innovation in response to current buzz on college entrepreneurship – how to integrate entrepreneurship into supply chain management and logistics curriculum to expand students’ entrepreneurial mindset. 


The two subjects are usually taught separately in business classrooms, and yet the knowledge and skillsets are inseparable and 


indispensable when it comes to planning and launching new business ventures. The section of the seminar describes some of my class 


activities in supply chain and logistics courses to expand students’ entrepreneurial mindset and points out the intersection of these two 


subjects so as to expand the respective curriculum.
