| Omschrijving | In today's business environment, most organizations are part of a chain or network in order to produce and deliver goods or services to the ultimate customer. As such, organizations have all kinds of relationships with one another and parties involved are connected through various business processes. The purchasing process is one of these business processes, linking needs and requirements of one organization with the supply of another. This course will focus on various concepts related to supply chains such as supply chain strategy, supply chain operations, outsourcing and relationship management between the focal firm, its suppliers and its customers. Moreover, purchasing is examined from a supply chain perspective and business functions related to both supply chain management and purchasing are explored. Attention will be paid to various working contexts and sectors (services, public sector) in order to clarify that common purchasing and supply chain management practices may not be used or applied in every context in the same manner. In this course, specific attention will be given to sustainability. Being of great importance in today's business environment, aspects of environmental and social sustainability and how these relate to supply chain management and purchasing will be explored and critically reflected upon. This course will allow students to become sensitive to sustainability issues and how these are dealt with, both in theory and in in practice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
