Outline and objectives

Global supply chains interact with all facets of business and society. In this interdisciplinary course, students will gain a multi-faceted perspective on the global dimensions of today’s business operations. Students will explore the interrelationships between global supply chains, logistics operations, society, and the environment. The study of business operations will be set in the context of social science theories and popular perspectives on the history, geography, structure and ethics of trade. Students will examine the impacts of current trade systems on both production and consumption regions and the human and environmental consequences of trade patterns.

Goal

1. For students to gain a multi-faceted perspective on the global dimensions of today’s business operations through understanding how modern, global supply chains and logistics networks operate.
2. For students to understand the multi-disciplinary facets of how a global supply chain can be viewed, analyzed, and operated.
