Supply
Chain Management for E-Business
Lally School of Management
and Technology
Description
This course examines how the Internet and emerging e-business
models are transforming the flow of products, information and
revenue across supply chains. It focuses on how inter-enterprise
integration and value chain constellations can be deployed to
effectively detect and fulfill customer needs in a cost-efficient
manner by eliminating traditional constraints in supply chain
design, dislodging obsolete intermediaries, and creating new forms
of value-added intermediation. The re-design and management of
core supply chain processes, such as planning, designing, acquiring,
producing, and distributing products and services, performance
measurement, and process improvement will be dealt with in the
course. We will examine several procurement strategies (such as
auctions) enabled by the Internet and their suitability and economics
for different types of products and services. The role of exchanges
and hubs in the procurement of industrial goods and services will
also be examined in depth. These concepts will be discussed for
different types of products such as physical goods, informational
goods and services.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in operations management, industrial marketing,
and information systems. The knowledge could have been acquired
