In our first episode, Ted and Tom discuss supply chain disruptions and what the upcoming holiday season might look like. Special guest, Wendy Tate, William J. Taylor Professor in Supply Chain Management and Ray and Joan Myatt Faculty Research Fellow, weighs in on the financial impact of business decisions across the supply chain.

Will moving to 24/7 operations make a difference? Will the National Guard be called in?
Topic #2: Will Santa Deliver this Holiday Season?
Hear Ted and Tom’s holiday season supply chain predictions.
Topic #3: Influence on Prices
