ABSTRACT

The Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM) for the colleges and universities

provides two main contributions to the society, including human resource contribution and

research contribution through two main activities of colleges/universities: education and research.

In the world, theories about Educational Supply Chain were studied in the last years of the 90s,

but in Vietnam these contents are still new. This article depicts a holistic view, comprising inputs,

the process, and outputs of the educational supply chain. With the analysis about three group

activities of supply chain management and some experiences from education developing

countries, the paper also provides educational management a new dimension to understand how

supply chain management contributes to successful university operations, especially enhances the

efficiency of scientific and technological transfer.

Keywords: The Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM), Efficiency of scientific and

technological transfer, Relationship Management, Social Orientation, Strategy.

INTRODUCTION

In recent times, the theory of supply chain

management (SCM) has been widely studied

under a variety of labels and for a number of

reasons: improving operations, better

outsourcing, increasing profits, enhancing

customer satisfaction, generating quality

outcomes, tackling competitive pressures,

increasing globalization, increasing

importance of E-commerce, and growing

complexity of supply chains.

In the world

The first theory about supply chain

management appeared in 1950s with the

development of goods and relationships in

businesses... and it rapidly widened their

applications to other fields of life. (Fig 1)

It is a surprising fact that researchers

developed SCM models focusing mostly on

improving business operations. Few,

particularly academic researchers, do not

realize that the research on academic supply

chain management may also be conducted for

their own educational institutions.
