The module adopts the Harvard approach to learning: lectures convey the essential theories and are supported by a wide range of examples and illustrations from business practice of global companies. These examples and illustrations are embedded in the lecture material itself and also offered through structured research and reading activities, with aim to clarify and complement the material.
The small group teaching sessions, seminars, are focused on applying theories and analysing cases that prepared by the Module Leader to offer students the opportunity of thought-provoking discussion in topical issues in supply chain management.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
