All academics in the field of OM and SCM working in European universities. They will directly benefit from increased knowledge of who is teaching which kinds of subject (and which methods / techniques) and undertaking what type of research. Users of the knowledge repository will have a valuable source of information. In addition, many of the partners have links with companies, which should also facilitate increased awareness of best practice within the companies and a direct transfer of knowledge. The network will provide teaching professional with increased awareness and understanding of best practice in teaching OM so they can better integrate their research and teaching to benefit their students. Academic in the less developed countries of Eastern Europe will be direct beneficiaries, as their teaching and assessment methods could be outdated, will benefit directly from increased understanding of the impact of teaching techniques such as case studies and ICT simulations. They will also benefit from increased conference presentations and journal publications as the dissemination potential of the network develops further. As the network membership increases to include other organisations, it is anticipated that all involved will directly benefit from the dialogue undertaken. Companies and employers organisations in the future design of the network (Year 2 onwards) will provide valuable feedback on the impact of the training techniques and on the relevance of academic research to their needs. Their involvement in the network will lead to collaboration, where they will become instrumental in ensuring that research is relevant and training and assessment is appropriate to their needs. Governmental organisations will be able to base their policy on relevant research and knowledge and in collaboration with companies work together to achieve actual business improvement. There will be indirect beneficiaries of the networks activities. This includes PhD students from universities across Europe who directly benefit from sharing experiences and networking with academics. Companies and their employees who undertake MBA programmes, in which OM and SCM subjects are taught, will indirectly benefit from better awareness of best practice techniques. Students of OM both at undergraduate and postgraduate level will indirectly benefit from the increased awareness of best practice techniques, which will be mainstreamed into existing courses.
