Why study logistics?
‘Globally, operations are one of the key areas of McKinsey,
which may come as a surprise to many students. In operations, we
work at all levels in a client organization and solve everything
from high level operations strategy issues to detailed problems at
the shop floor. My experience so far, is that operations/logistics is
an area where the right competence and skills can yield big
improvements for most companies.’
Frode Johannesen Sandmark, then senior consultant in McKinsey, started as
junior consultant after majoring in logistics at BI in 2008

PREPAREDNESS AND

A story told in Cambridge,
Massachusetts (Shapiro 2001)
’A young man, obviously a college student, is
unloading his purchases at a supermarket
checkout counter. A large sign above the
counter indicates that it is for customers with
twenty items or less, but the young man has at
least twenty. The clerk tells him, ’You either
go to MIT and you can’t read, or you or to
Harvard and you can’t count.’ (p.XVII)
