| Course content and
structure |
|
The course focuses on supply management as professional entity
carrying out processes in the organisation where the supply
organisation has to work closely with the organisation’s internal
operations as well as externally with suppliers. The course aims to
capture and understand how to manage sourcing and supply practices
providing the students with concepts and tools. Hence, the course
starts with introducing various aspects of carrying out sourcing
processes in the organisation followed by the specific role of the
supply organisation connecting supply and demand. The latter
involves for example how to organise supply, contract management,
cost management, and procurement of services.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The course includes theoretical-based
lectures providing the concepts to understand sourcing and supply
management in combination with exercises and cases which aims to
put the concepts into a concrete context. The teaching includes a
high degree of students’ involvement and participation. This is
achieved by the combination of dialogue lectures, case discussions,
and in-class assignments. |
