Course descriptionThis MBA is designed to respond to the demands of the Purchasing and Supply industries, specifically targeting the requirements of the Institute of Purchasing and Supply.
Recognition that effective supply chain management plays a critical role in the competitive advantage of most world class industrial companies has focused growing attention on its teaching and practical application.
In many organisations, purchased goods and services account for up to 80% of product cost, therefore the management of the supply chain has become a competitive priority.
