OVERVIEW

Start your MBA – Supply Chain Management

As the recent global disruptions in supply chains have demonstrated clearly, our increasingly globalised world makes the job of supply chain managers considerably more complex – and considerably more vital.

An excellent supply chain manager can help companies navigate through these challenges successfully, and is therefore a real asset to businesses. If you’re ready to take on these opportunities to test yourself, IU International University of Applied Sciences’ online MBA with a specialisation in Supply Chain Management will prepare you to excel in any industry that requires international logistics.

STUDY CONTENTS

Start your online studies off with a focus on supply chain management in mind, and explore general business administration concepts as they relate to supply chain issues. Once you’ve established your understanding of multinational business and global markets, you’ll be ready to delve into the requirements and specifications of a successful supply chain.

Analyse the different expectations of various business stakeholders, global regulations, and environmental limitations. Closely review real-world case studies, and gain valuable, practical knowledge that you can use as you make your first steps in the international job market.

Once you graduate with an MBA with a specialisation in Supply Chain Management, you’ll be able to find a position in a wide range of industries, and perform several different roles. You could, for example, work as…

Supply Chain Consultant

Supply chain consultants work as external advisors for companies looking to improve their supply chain work systems. Their responsibility is to analyse, review and offer new approaches to the way supply chains operate, based on their experience, business knowledge and data. Standardise workflows and help companies solve problems in this dynamic and inspiring role.

Head of Supply Chain

As head of supply chain, you’ll manage and oversee all logistics comings and goings. From transportation supply chain to dealing with suppliers, you’ll act as the main authority in regards to any logistical or supply chain matter. You’ll work not only to ensure smooth running of operations, but also to constantly improve them, support staff and set business goals.

Supply Chain Operations Manager

Be responsible for planning, supervising and improving cross-business value chain processes and operations. Combine your business administration knowledge and logistics and supply chain expertise, and identify weak spots and key improvement areas before anyone else – saving your employers time and money.
