This unit is designed for students of management and business students interested in pursuing a career in logistics and trade. It presents logistics from a practical international business perspective and prepares students for a career in logistics and supply-chain management. It achieves this through the investigation of key concepts and tools; critical for the effective, practical management of modern logistics across borders. It highlights the roles of customers as well as contributing service providers in areas including supply, distribution, warehousing, product support and recycling. The role of logistics is far-reaching in that virtually all we see around us has developed as a consequence of transportation and distribution. Without logistics, our lives would be altered immeasurably.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On-campus students attend a weekly three-hour seminar. The Off-campus students access their study program via Blackboard.
The teaching and learning approach in this unit is enhanced through in-class discussions of practical industry case studies, where the skills of working effectively with others (specifically team work, task collaboration and working productively with people from diverse cultures), communicating effectively, critical appraisal and the ability to generate ideas are emphasized. The lectures are used to introduce the central theories and concepts relevant to understanding international logistics. This unit also provides for engaged teaching and learning where guest lecturers from industry are invited to share experiences providing students with industry relevant information and opportunities for networking. Students are required to complete individual and group assessment items which are assessed for quality academic and professional standards, including written communication (structure, language and conventions), critical analysis (depth of thought, development of argument, logical analysis and insight), depth and breadth of coverage, the ability to research effectively using both academic and contemporary sources and industry relevance.
Off-campus students are provided with an electronic version of the internal lecture and weekly tutorials. All information is delivered to off-campus students via Blackboard. The lectures are used to introduce the central theories and concepts relevant to understanding the changing nature of International Logistics. The lectures also direct students to relevant literature and discuss its application. Regular on line access is required.
