The Bulldog Business Show - December 1, 2025

In this episode of The Bulldog Business Show, we explore how real-world experience is transforming student learning in the College of Business at Mississippi State University. Then we dive into the heart of the episode: live case classes. Dr. Chris Boone, Professor of Supply Chain Logistics, joins us to explain how these immersive courses connect students with real companies, real data, and real business challenges. He shares why partnerships—like our ongoing collaboration with Taylor, a Mississippi-based global manufacturer—create invaluable learning environments where students can apply classroom concepts to solve real operational problems. Next, we hear firsthand from Elijah Davis, a standout supply chain student participating in this semester’s live case class. Elijah shares what surprised him most about the experience, how hands-on access to Taylor’s facilities and leadership shaped his learning, and why he recommends the course to every business student. He also gives us a glimpse into the team’s upcoming final presentation—and celebrates an exciting milestone: his full-time position with Walmart’s merchandising program after graduation.
