I am confused with two aspects
1. Is my list of target colleges fine? or I am missing out on some good schools?
2. Would supply chain or procurement would be a better suitable career option based on my current profile and MBA education?
I'm not sure what you mean by "indirect materials." Can you clarify?
Linda
By Indirect materials, I am referring to all the commodities/services that indirectly account for the overall cost of the sold products; some of common indirect procured materials/services include transportation, marketing services, etc.
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been swamped. To answer your questions:
1. I think you are missing out on some good schools and aiming a little too low. I suggest you consider programs like Darden, Ross, Cornell Johnson, NYU Stern, Yale, and UCLA Anderson.
2. Supply chain management is clearer, but the best post-MBA goal is the one you intend to pursue. It may be more on issue of semantics than substance.
Best,
Linda
