Question: Do you believe that networking is an important component of being successful in the Supply Chain Management industry, or will I naturally meet valuable contacts throughout my work positions in the industry without having to try much?
Answer: Networking is a very important component of being successful in the Supply Chain Management field. It is a good idea, especially if this career path is new, to become active in a professional organization to network with other Supply Chain Management professionals.
