Based on a conceptual discussion of what supply chain strategy is and how it relates to corporate strategy, the course will discuss the general issues and concepts inherent in any supply chain strategy. These concepts and issues are design of supply chains including make-buy decisions, supply chain integration and limits thereto, and responsiveness versus efficiency. Also specific designs such as lean supply chains, agile supply chains are discussed. The course then addresses dynamic aspects of supply chains strategies and management and concludes with contemporary topics within the field such as globalization and CSR.
