More specifically, this course covers topics related to global supply chain strategies, global network optimization, outsourcing & sourcing strategies and contract design. The course furthermore tackles advanced supply chain concepts that are even more relevant in this context: supply chain coordination and incentive alignment, pricing and revenue management and sustainability. You are introduced to theoretical concepts with emphasis on key tradeoffs and phenomena, as well as best practice examples. We will pay particular attention to supply chain challenges and applications in emerging markets, including those related to humanitarian aid delivery.
