Emails and texting may have their limits ....

The younger generations especially are mastering the art and science of sending emails and text messages. But, is there more to communications?

According to some colleges and universities with supply chain and logistics programs, it may be more effective to make a phone call or pop into someone's office as mentioned in the magazine, Inbound Logistics.

There is a growing trend in thought with some that texting and emails are enough. This mindset is being tempered with schools teaching the use of good old-fashioned means of communication.

Some schools offering Logistics and Supply Chain programs include Auburn University, Cal State Fullerton, East Carolina University, Elmhurst College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Iowa State University, Marquette University, MIT, University of Maryland, University of Denver, Western Illinois University, University of Central Arkansas and others.

I find that emails and texting keep transactions "clean" and limit the endless rate negotiation between broker and carrier. Time will tell, but it's most definitely a phone first industry at the current time. Hoping for gradual change.
