OIT 364: Global Operations
Globalization of businesses has resulted in companies having to manage global networks of suppliers, integrators, contract manufacturers, logistics service providers, distributors, and service support operators in geographically dispersed locations. The customer network is also globally distributed. This course will focus on (1) how global and international companies can overcome the geographical, cultural, and organizational barriers, and leverage the strengths of the network to create values, (2) how these companies should best structure their network, like in-sourcing or outsourcing, and off-shoring or on-shoring, to give the best competitive advantage, and (3) how operations can support the overall business strategies.. The course will be based on cases on innovative strategies and tactics used by global and international companies, including how they can do so in emerging economies.
