Connection to Research and Practice
Companies of all sizes and types face challenges in integrating sustainability into their strategies and extended supply chain and networks, missing opportunities to create significant value for their stakeholders and positive impacts for sustainable development.
The course links the relevant theories and models of sustainable supply chain management and governance & ownership to deal with actual companies' challenges. The pedagogical approach is based on a robust theoretical framework covering sustainable supply chain management, sustainable operations management, accountability, leadership, governance, and strategy. Frameworks and models developed by academics and practitioners are part of the scope of the course. Connection with practice is applied continuously in the course, implemented via cases, guest lectures, round tables with practitioners & academics, and an evolving project focused on a real problem. The project is developed throughout the course within invited companies.
