Supply Chain Management

Description

The aim of this module is to provide students with a professional understanding of Supply Chain Management (SCM), associated activities, processes, standards and the practical application of key frameworks and concepts in international settings.

 

For the online version of this Module (Entrepreneurship year 4 programme), it will consist of two lectures and a 1 hour tutorial.  The lectures will be asynchronous and will be uploaded to Learnonline for the learners to watch, the flipped classroom approach will also be used in order for the learners to prepare for their asynchronous lectures and to provide material/videos/case studies as appropriate.

The tutorials will be delivered synchronously on a weekly basis, to give an opportunity for the learners to ask any questions, work out examples, and to meet the students in an online environment to provide interaction and engagement for all concerned.

The assessment strategy will remain the same as the Face to Face version of this module.
