The growing global economy has redefined the dynamics of competition for modern organisations, with product life-cycles shortening and worldwide commercial competition increasing. Successful Competition today depends on organisations adopting effective supply chain management (SCM) strategies such as global supply networks.

It also covers future challenges and opportunities such as environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility in the supply chain. -- Course Website
