MGT 415 - Global Supply Chain Management 3 credits Prerequisite(s): MGT 301 and MKT 301 Business logistics and supply chain managers face a growing demand to produce higher quality products at a lower price worldwide. This course covers the key techniques and methods on how to manage a company's logistics and supply chain management operations in the global economy. Logistics involves the complex coordination of people, products, supplies, equipment, facilities, and transportation. It follows the flow of goods from raw materials to the delivery of finished products and services. Logistics is a key driver of globalization and facilitator of international trade and development. This course reflects these characteristics by adopting a truly global perspective. Special emphasis is given to the link between global logistics, company profitability, risks to the supply chain, and the design of sustainable logistics and supply chain systems. These complex systems serve as proprietary assets for companies as they are not easily duplicated and provide a notable advantage over competitors lacking similar systems.
