Goals
Description
Global Supply Chain Management focuses on why and how companies engage in international supply chain activities. Key topics include motives, barriers, risks, partnership(s), and the global supply chain organisation. Coping with various supply chain disruptions is a recurring challenge for companies and the students in this course. Tutorials evolve around student presentations and discussions of relevant literature, case studies, and roleplay. Normally, subgroups of students take turns in presenting the highlights of the assigned literature or case material, as well as providing additional material (relevant academic articles, cases, and examples).
Literature
Reader based on State-of-the-Art articles on Global Supply Chain Management.
