Abstract

This research examines the role of Educational Supply Chain Management (EduSCM) in enhancing graduate employability within Bangladesh's higher education system. Despite significant growth in the number of graduates, a skills gap persists, with many graduates facing underemployment or unemployment due to a mismatch between academic knowledge and industry demands. Through a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative insights from university administrators, faculty, industry professionals, and graduates with quantitative survey data from 300 participants, this study explores how aligning curriculum design, faculty quality, university infrastructure, and industry collaboration can improve graduate preparedness for the workforce. The findings reveal a notable disconnect between academic programs and industry needs, with curriculum relevance, faculty industry experience, and industry collaboration identified as key factors influencing employability. The study proposes actionable recommendations, including curriculum reform, enhanced industry partnerships, faculty development, and infrastructure modernization, to bridge the skills gap and improve the employability of graduates. By applying the EduSCM model, this research provides valuable insights for universities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to optimize higher education and align it with labor market demands, contributing to Bangladesh’s economic growth and sustainable development.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of supply chain resilience and integration on the performance of FMCG firms in Bangladesh. The primary objective is to synthesize existing literature to comprehend how these two interdependent capabilities enhance operational efficiency, delivery reliability, flexibility, innovation, and customer satisfaction in a developing economy. This research used a narrative and integrative review methodology, examining peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and industry reports mostly published in the last decade. The technique included the thematic classification of literature into resilience, integration, and performance dimensions, followed by an iterative process of synthesis and interpretation. The study highlights findings that supply chain resilience, which includes adaptation, flexibility, visibility, redundancy, and recovery capacity, allows organizations to successfully absorb and recover from disturbances. The outcomes of the study emphasize the significant role of Supply chain integration to facilitate coordination, information exchange, and cooperation, hence enhancing resilience. Therefore, the research offers actionable insights for managers in cultivating robust and cohesive supply chains, governments in fostering enabling infrastructure and technology integration, and industry stakeholders in advancing collaborative networks.
