This includes a thorough exploration of the various modes of international transportation that make globalization possible.

By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and perspective necessary to understand and contribute to the evolving field of international supply chains and operations. This course is ideal for anyone interested or involved in international business, especially those in supply chains, logistics, or transportation. It’s also valuable for individuals seeking employment abroad, as it covers the key forces shaping global business. Prerequisites are minimal—just an interest in international operations management and foreign currency.
