Global Transportation Principles

3 cr · Graduate

This course presents a framework for the analysis of domestic and international supply chains. The principal concepts of transport management and logistics are examined through the lens of economic theory and global supply chains. The economic topics covered include trade, modal supply, derived demand, joint product pricing and location analysis. The global logistics management topics cover distribution clusters, freight forwarding, vertical supply chains, disruptions (risk and innovation) and sustainability. A first year course in microeconomics is helpful, but not critical. Not to be held with the former OPM 7300 when the subtopic is the same.
