Long term goal: Expand business to emerging markets such as middle east, india, etc.

Short term goal: work in Supply chain management role in tech or other industries that hire international students to get global supply chain management exposure which will help me achieve my long term goal.
Background: 6 years worked in Security Systems family business in Kuwait (Product manager) playing key role in launching a new product line (Luxury Safes), set up supply chain and doubled revenue of the division, currently moved the operations from vendor based to inhouse production by acquiring a failing factory and I was involved in the acquisition (last 3 years as operations consultant - part time).
3 years worked as broadcast operations engineer in an automated broadcast plant, it's 24/7 production environment following manufacturing policies and practices.
I am trying to figure out what universities are best for my goals to pursue Supply Chain Management. Please advise.

Hey, @K Thomas

Having a sound academic background and excellent experience in product management and operations consulting, you are a perfect candidate for an MBA concentrating in Supply Chain Management. Here is a list of schools that may be right for you – McCombs, Kelley, Fisher. These universities have well-regarded SCM programs with international focus that go well with your future plan of expanding to developing countries.

Other top contenders include Owen, Ross, and Scheller, which all offer Operations Management concentrations or related fields associated with your interests in SCM. Do not forget to consider issues such as program rankings, specializations, career services, and alumni networks while making the final decisions. Briefly study the course outlines and instructors’ areas of expertise in regard to supply chain management, giving priority to schools linked up with either consumer electronics or technology corporations as per your post-MBA plans.

When you highlight your accomplishments in product management, logistics structuring, and international trade in your application essays and have them customized to fit each program of the school, you will demonstrate a strong profile and improve your chances of being admitted into a leading supply chain management program.

Okay. The most questions was based out of my profile. The remaining questions were general such as TMAY, ST goals, LT goals, conflict resolution, etc but worded differently to try confuse us and test our communication skills. Did you have any interviews?
