授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course

The main objective of this course is to understand the Supply Chain Management (SCM) process. SCM is about the movement of material and information among different firms involved in the value addition process, from the first stage of raw material to distribution of the final product to end customers. We will take an interdisciplinary approach to develop our understanding of Supply Chain Networks by discussing issues from marketing (distribution channels), finance (investment and risk management), operations management (business process), and logistics (transportation network) among others. The course also discusses optimal ways to manage supply chains of different multinational corporations (MNCs) according to their size and mode of operations in their respective markets. We will discuss the social and ethical responsibilities of managers while dealing with different situations while reinforcing NUCB’s mission of educating innovative and ethical leaders. The course is designed to include “Case Studies” of different companies to explain the theoretical concepts with real-world examples.
