| Course content and
structure |
|
Based on an introductory discussion of the conceptual foundation
of supply chain strategies, the course sets out to discuss
generic supply chain strategies, especially lean and agile
supply chains. The supply chain strategies are then explored in
relation to supply chain design criteria such as transaction costs
and core competencies where especially the role of relationships in
value creation is discussed. Next, the course addresses
contemporary challenges for supply chain strategies namely
globalization and environmental and social sustainability. Then the
course addresses dynamic aspects of supply chains, in
particular innovation and change. The course concludes with a
discussion of future prospects of supply chain strategies.
