The course provides a special emphasis on the development and management of strategic sourcing relationships and promotes an understanding of the strategic role of supply management in effective supply/demand/value chain operations. By utilizing problem-based learning and emphasis on the case method, the student learns by establishing a practical hands on experience through an actual negotiations simulation exercise. The goal is to learn through the application of course materials to relevant supply management case problems and scenarios. Collaboration in case preparation is required. Online discussions, what if scenarios, and use of contemporary problems enhance the learning experience. For additional information, please contact Gary Gittings at glg@psu.edu.Schedule This Course
