Through case studies and argumentation—especially of the current China-led Silk Road (an international supply chain arena for several thousand years, already) – you will examine the essential cooperative and risk/reward sharing activities orchestrated by effective supply chain management. Explore and understand the strategic management of traditional business functions across the inbound and outbound system flows of companies around the world. A key focus will be the power and competitive value of logistics for such companies as Apple, Amazon, GE, and Boeing.
