Abstract

ABSTRACT: The assurance of effective information and communication technology supply chain risk management is a national priority due to the potential impact of supply chain failures on our national infrastructure. Given education's role in facilitating social change, it is imperative that information and communication technology (ICT-SCRM) supply chain risk management topics are embedded in our present computer curricula. The existence of a well-defined and standard body of knowledge for ICT supply chain risk management offers a validated point of departure for defining and then amalgamating supply chain risk management topics into conventional higher education teaching. This article presents an analysis that explores the specific ways that ICT-SCRM could be disseminated into various computer curricula based on the standards of the traditional societies for those areas (Association for Computing Machinery, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Association for Information Systems). This analysis found that it was possible to incorporate secure acquisition and ICT–SCRM best practices into higher education teaching. This can be demonstrated down to the course level.
