you will research technological advances having a direct impact on supply chain or operations management today. Steer away from the overused 3D manufacturing and robotics. See what else you can find out there. Remember, supply chain is made up of multiple departments so your research could be specific to one of those departments.

Summarize your research in an executive summary format. If you don't know what an executive summary is, it is a high level summary of a research paper. Usually it's one page in length and highlights all the important topics in your research paper.
