Professor Yossi Sheffi “After the Pandemic: The New (Ab)Normal” MEETING DATE: 6:45PM - 8:45PM in via Zoom virtual meeting. |
Much has been written about COVID-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In “The New (Ab)Normal”, Professor Sheffi studies how businesses grappled with the chaos of the pandemic. He also explores what enterprises are likely to do to survive and thrive after the pandemic subsides.
Professor Yossi Sheffi is director of the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL), and director and founder of the Master of Engineering in Logistics Program. He is a faculty member of the MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, as well as the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. He received his Ph.D. degree from MIT in 1976.
Under his leadership, the MIT CTL has launched many educational, research, and industry/government outreach programs, including the MIT Master of Engineering in Logistics program in 1998, the MIT Master of Applied Sciences in Supply Chain Management, and the MIT on-line offering the MITx MicroMasters program in supply chain management. Launched in 2016, it has enrolled more than 350,000 learners in 196 countries.
