Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Effective and efficient transportation and related service may be seen as enablers of the supply chains in modern globalized economies and become increasingly important.
The elective International Shipping and Logistics specializes into the management challenges, roles, and service offerings of logistics service providers as important players within the broader theoretical context of global supply chain management. From the viewpoint of logistics service providers it introduces the key elements of successful business models in transportation chains and for specific types of logistics services such as 3PL. Understanding such underlying mechanisms of managing transportation chains is also relevant for future managers of industries and retail supply chain who need to relate the services with their processes.
The structure of the course is based on different topic blocks and a blend of more theoretical approaches with industry facts. It is starting with a general discussion on the customer-oriented business needs for logistics services, introducing structure and impact of international flows of goods and material, resulting effects on the demand for logistics services It then introduces the fundamentals and key players in the
international container shipping, and the challenges that currently
exist. This is complemented by a view into their institutional
setup in terms of basic roles, functions and restrictions e.g.
caused by regulations and deregulations.
