Overview

The Global Logistics specialisation focuses on operations and the logistics function in organisations that source, produce, distribute, and market nationally and internationally. Organisations need a globally focussed and up to date knowledge of the logistics task to maintain their competitive edge, exploit technological change, meet increased customer expectations, address sustainability issues, and be resilient when facing disruptions. This specialisation will provide students with a solid grounding in the concepts, techniques and principles that underpin global logistics management. Graduates build skills in the development of global distribution strategy, sourcing and supplier management, the management of disruption, aviation, maritime and city logistics, and analytical methods.
