The courses in the GBA program run for a traditional 13-week

Specific Course Details: International Supply Chains: Connecting
Developed and Developing Worlds
We seek a lecturer for the International Supply Chains course for
the summer term (May - August 2024). This course explores the
management of the flow of business between different countries,
especially those supply chains that inter-connect economies. An
important aim of the course is to analyze the dynamic aspects of
supply chains, such as: performance demands on companies,
geopolitical risks, and novel digital technology options to deliver
to customers and how to control the chain.
Students leave this course with knowledge on how to create,
negotiate, and manage supply chains. The course operates at two
levels. One is the global context - what forces shape new supply
networks, what determines which succeeds, and what are the
particular challenges of operating in the developing world. The
second is the operating level - how companies decide where to
source, what partners they need, and how to build and control these
supply networks. Emphasis is placed on economics and the physics of
supply chains, as well as a range of industires, from commodities
to high tech, goods, and services.
