Course Syllabus

Abstract

There are many reasons why companies go global in their operations: growth (finding new, available markets for the company existing products and businesses), efficiency (looking for economies of scale or economies of scope, using lower cost resources, utilizing most modern manufacturing facilities), knowledge (getting skilled labor and talent in other countries, acquiring technologies), competition (grasping first mover advantage in the new markets), etc. The trend towards globalization usually occurs at selected stages of the value chain. Either the company decides to enter a new market in a different country and start by opening a representative office, sales, service branch, project office or a distribution center, or it decides to procure its products and services internationally and sets up a purchasing unit in closer to the new suppliers, or decides to outsource part of the production and services. But if the company is successful in its growth strategy it will likely end up having to strategize on managing operations in a global context. The course will leverage on the fact that it is emerging economies influence new global operations structure. We will explore global operations issues both for Western companies operating in emerging countries and for companies from emerging countries going to Europe or America. You will have the opportunity to learn, based on practical cases, about companies based in those areas. Special focus of the course is dedicated to opportunities, limitations and challenges of linear value and supply chain systems and development of business process and models on transformation toward circular supply chains and regenerative resource management as a basis for sustainability in business.
