Global Supply Network Strategy, Trade Policy, and Geopolitical Risk (OPMT 4110)
This course critically examines the legal, financial, and operational complexities of contracts and logistics within global supply chain environments. Students analyze contract structures, pricing mechanisms, negotiation strategy, dispute resolution frameworks, transportation law, trade documentation, insurance instruments, and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions. Emphasis is placed on risk allocation, Incoterms application, customs governance, and the strategic implications of international trade policy.
Through applied case analysis and scenario-based simulations, students evaluate the integration of purchasing, transportation network design, inventory strategy, warehousing systems, and customer service within global markets. The course develops the capacity to structure and negotiate agreements that balance cost, service, risk, and compliance while aligning logistics execution with enterprise strategy and international trade dynamics.
