Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||
This course explores the critical aspects of sustainable supply chain management in the context of global business. In today's global economy, the impact of supply chains, both positive and negative, makes the integration of environmental and ethical considerations into supply chain management strategies and operations a necessity. Many companies have already started to transform their supply chains to become more sustainable and even circular. The course will introduce relevant issues and critically reflect on the current implementation of sustainability in supply chains. Through interactive discussions and case studies, participants will learn how to apply this knowledge in a management context. The course also covers topics such as stakeholder management, buyer-supplier relationships, circular supply chains, philosophy and negotiation or sustainable performance management. |
