Certification or Advanced Degree?
For someone (like me) who has a "traditional" MBA and many years experience working in Procurement in Purchasing, Sourcing, and Commodity Management roles, what is a better way to increase my knowledge of broader Supply Chain issues and increase my "marketability" to take on broader Supply Chain roles: A Supply Chain Masters degree, or a Certification from APICS or ISM? (I live in the USA, and I do not currently have any Certifications.) It seems that the cost of the Masters programs are quite expensive - especially since I will need to pay myself for the program I select. Therefore, I am looking for a path that will provide the best return on my investment. All comments / recommendations are welcome :)
