  Learning outcomes of the course

  In this course we will view the supply chain from the point of view of a general manager. Logistics and supply chain management is all about managing the hand-offs in a supply chain - hand-offs of either information or product. The design of a logistics system is critically linked to the objectives of the supply chain. Our goal in this course is to understand how logistical decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The key will be to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or supply chain.
  Another term that has appeared in the business jargon recently is demand chain. From our perspective we will use the phrases logistics management, supply chain management and demand chain management interchangeably.

  Prerequisites and co-requisites

  Course contents

  Logistics and supply chain management is unique and, to some degree, represents a paradox because it is concerned with one of the oldest and also the most newly discovered activities of business. Supply chain system activities - communication, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and facility location - have been performed since the start of commercial activity. It is difficult to visualize any product that could reach a customer without logistical support. Yet it is only over the last few years that firms have started focusing on logistics and supply chain management as a source of competitive advantage. There is a realization that no company can do any better than its logistics system. This becomes even more important given that product life cycles are shrinking and competition is intense. Logistics and supply chain management today represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for most firms.

This requires conducting the literature review of current global financial management issues in the light of underpinning theories, identifying a suitable research topic and forming the relevant research questions. The process continues by choosing an appropriate research method or methods, the collection of data and subsequent analyses, and drawing conclusions and recommendations from the results.
  You can identify, outline, master, analyze, and synthesize the core concepts with respect to financial risk exposure caused by the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets, changes in the global business environment and regulatory changes at the multinational corporation level as well as the subsidiary level.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  In this course we will view the supply chain from the point of view of a general manager. Logistics and supply chain management is all about managing the hand-offs in a supply chain - hand-offs of either information or product. The design of a logistics system is critically linked to the objectives of the supply chain. Our goal in this course is to understand how logistical decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The key will be to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or supply chain.
  Another term that has appeared in the business jargon recently is demand chain. From our perspective we will use the phrases logistics management, supply chain management and demand chain management interchangeably.
  
  ILOs:
  IBCRI: Able to employ theoretical and conceptual knowledge to identify and analyze business problems in global contexts.
  IBBUS: Able to gather , analyse, and evaluate business data and information and transform empirical data into useful and actionable information as well as managerial problems.
  IBCOL, IBCOM: Exercise initiative and take personal responsibility for one’s work in terms of timeliness, professional behavior, personal motivation and planning skills as well as collaborate with other students during team work.

  Prerequisites and co-requisites

  First year studies or basic business studies

  Course contents

  Logistics and supply chain management is unique and, to some degree, represents a paradox because it is concerned with one of the oldest and also the most newly discovered activities of business. Supply chain system activities - communication, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and facility location - have been performed since the start of commercial activity. It is difficult to visualize any product that could reach a customer without logistical support. Yet it is only over the last few years that firms have started focusing on logistics and supply chain management as a source of competitive advantage. There is a realization that no company can do any better than its logistics system. This becomes even more important given that product life cycles are shrinking and competition is intense. Logistics and supply chain management today represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for most firms.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  This course is targeted to participants that aim to become great sales professionals. The course will be both academically strong and real life oriented. The delivery will consist on a set of tools that are conceptually solid and extremely practical.
  Participants will first learn to map the responsibility allocation and collaboration between sales-marketing functions in a company, to ensure a smooth and productive cooperation. After that, the course will provide a set of pre-sales tools to diagnose the target customers, and design a sales process in the most effective way.
  The core of the course will consist on mastering the whole sales process from beginning to end. Students will be very well guided during all the whole sales process. First, participants will learn to open up customer relationships, in a way that curiosity is triggered, and customers are attracted to further interactions. After that, students will understand the different alternatives to design sales interactions/presentations, strengthened by the persuasion elements that should be added for maximum impact. We live in an information overload society, and the product message should be of high quality, standing above the "excessive media noise", and be remembered.
  This course will develop top skill strengths in the three key "sales challenging elements" required to succeeding in the "sales marathon" until the end: effective negotiations, customer objections, and sales closing tools. Students will receive a very complete set of well defined negotiation difficulties and real-life tested actions, customer objections with professionally practical resolutions, plus a full "hands-on" set of sales closes to guarantee that the deal is completed.
  The course will end with a visual and intuitive selection of metrics to evaluate overall the sales performance, and to map its profitability for the professional and the company.
  All the lecture sessions have been designed in a very dynamic and lively format, so participants will receive not just a set of great tools, but a very "immersive" experiencing of the sales atmosphere with its intensity and focus.
  Sales are needed at many stages in everyone's career. Professionals are continuously selling: not just products, but convincing colleagues about ideas/improvements, selling solutions when real problems appear, selling themselves for a promotion or for a new job, and many other situations. The tools and experiences learned in this course will be priceless for many critical career situations.
  - Sales vs. Marketing: main differences, responsibilities design, models of sales-marketing relationships in companies
  - Sales Cycle Models: Sales Funnel Mapping Tool, Target Segment-Leads-Prospects-First Customer evolution follow-up
  - Pre-Sales Process: Prospect selection, Customer sales-related decision roles, Matching customer decision processes and sales processes
  - Early Sales Process Stages: Relationship opening, Effective Sales Presentation design types / delivery / persuasion tools
  - Mid-Sales Process Stages: Practical sales negotiations, full set of sales objections types, objection resolution strategies
  - Final Sales Process Stages: Effective sales closing types, post-sales management
  - Sales Profitability Assessment: Sales cost/profit metrics, sales success evaluation

  Face-to-face learning and distance learning
  Flipped classroom model will be used to implement this course.
  Thus, pre-class learning is vital for the successful implementation of the flipped learning model. At course workspace, the teacher will provide you with lecture notes and slides. Each student has to familiarise him/herself with the pre-class learning content. I strongly suggest that students should also gather some other resources and expose themselves to the focal subject area. In the classroom, we will put a greater focus on applying the conceptual knowledge rather than factual recall or straight transfer of the information.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  In this course we will view the supply chain from the point of view of a general manager. Logistics and supply chain management is all about managing the hand-offs in a supply chain - hand-offs of either information or product. The design of a logistics system is critically linked to the objectives of the supply chain. Our goal in this course is to understand how logistical decisions impact the performance of the firm as well as the entire supply chain. The key will be to understand the link between supply chain structures and logistical capabilities in a firm or supply chain.
  Another term that has appeared in the business jargon recently is demand chain. From our perspective we will use the phrases logistics management, supply chain management and demand chain management interchangeably.

  Course contents

  Logistics and supply chain management is unique and, to some degree, represents a paradox because it is concerned with one of the oldest and also the most newly discovered activities of business. Supply chain system activities - communication, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and facility location - have been performed since the start of commercial activity. It is difficult to visualize any product that could reach a customer without logistical support. Yet it is only over the last few years that firms have started focusing on logistics and supply chain management as a source of competitive advantage. There is a realization that no company can do any better than its logistics system. This becomes even more important given that product life cycles are shrinking and competition is intense. Logistics and supply chain management today represents a great challenge as well as a tremendous opportunity for most firms.

Understanding conceptual aspects, and their practical applications from the point of view of investors, and finance managers, in the field of corporate risk management, corporate finance, international finance, accounting information analysis, strategic management accounting, financial institutions and markets, personal finance, etc. Corporate managers aim to find reliable and valid information for decision making by conducting independent research. This requires conducting the literature review of current global financial management issues in the light of underpinning theories, identifying a suitable research topic and forming the relevant research questions. The process continues by choosing an appropriate research method or methods, the collection of data and subsequent analyses, and drawing conclusions and recommendations from the results.
  You can identify, outline, master, analyze, and synthesize the core concepts with respect to financial risk exposure caused by the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets, changes in the global business environment and regulatory changes at the multinational corporation level as well as the subsidiary level. You will be encouraged to explore and utilize a large variety of literature related to academics, corporate sector and regulatory bodies.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  This course is targeted to participants that aim to become great sales professionals. The course will be both academically strong and real life oriented. The delivery will consist on a set of tools that are conceptually solid and extremely practical.
  Participants will first learn to map the responsibility allocation and collaboration between sales-marketing functions in a company, to ensure a smooth and productive cooperation. After that, the course will provide a set of pre-sales tools to diagnose the target customers, and design a sales process in the most effective way.
  The core of the course will consist on mastering the whole sales process from beginning to end. Students will be very well guided during all the whole sales process. First, participants will learn to open up customer relationships, in a way that curiosity is triggered, and customers are attracted to further interactions. After that, students will understand the different alternatives to design sales interactions/presentations, strengthened by the persuasion elements that should be added for maximum impact. We live in an information overload society, and the product message should be of high quality, standing above the "excessive media noise", and be remembered.
  This course will develop top skill strengths in the three key "sales challenging elements" required to succeeding in the "sales marathon" until the end: effective negotiations, customer objections, and sales closing tools. Students will receive a very complete set of well defined negotiation difficulties and real-life tested actions, customer objections with professionally practical resolutions, plus a full "hands-on" set of sales closes to guarantee that the deal is completed.
  The course will end with a visual and intuitive selection of metrics to evaluate overall the sales performance, and to map its profitability for the professional and the company.
  All the lecture sessions have been designed in a very dynamic and lively format, so participants will receive not just a set of great tools, but a very "immersive" experiencing of the sales atmosphere with its intensity and focus.
  Sales are needed at many stages in everyone's career. Professionals are continuously selling: not just products, but convincing colleagues about ideas/improvements, selling solutions when real problems appear, selling themselves for a promotion or for a new job, and many other situations. The tools and experiences learned in this course will be priceless for many critical career situations.
  - Sales vs. Marketing: main differences, responsibilities design, models of sales-marketing relationships in companies
  - Sales Cycle Models: Sales Funnel Mapping Tool, Target Segment-Leads-Prospects-First Customer evolution follow-up
  - Pre-Sales Process: Prospect selection, Customer sales-related decision roles, Matching customer decision processes and sales processes
  - Early Sales Process Stages: Relationship opening, Effective Sales Presentation design types / delivery / persuasion tools
  - Mid-Sales Process Stages: Practical sales negotiations, full set of sales objections types, objection resolution strategies
  - Final Sales Process Stages: Effective sales closing types, post-sales management

After that, the course will provide a set of pre-sales tools to diagnose the target customers, and design a sales process in the most effective way.
  The core of the course will consist on mastering the whole sales process from beginning to end. Students will be very well guided during all the whole sales process. First, participants will learn to open up customer relationships, in a way that curiosity is triggered, and customers are attracted to further interactions. After that, students will understand the different alternatives to design sales interactions/presentations, strengthened by the persuasion elements that should be added for maximum impact. We live in an information overload society, and the product message should be of high quality, standing above the "excessive media noise", and be remembered.
  This course will develop top skill strengths in the three key "sales challenging elements" required to succeeding in the "sales marathon" until the end: effective negotiations, customer objections, and sales closing tools. Students will receive a very complete set of well defined negotiation difficulties and real-life tested actions, customer objections with professionally practical resolutions, plus a full "hands-on" set of sales closes to guarantee that the deal is completed.
  The course will end with a visual and intuitive selection of metrics to evaluate overall the sales performance, and to map its profitability for the professional and the company.
  All the lecture sessions have been designed in a very dynamic and lively format, so participants will receive not just a set of great tools, but a very "immersive" experiencing of the sales atmosphere with its intensity and focus.
  Sales are needed at many stages in everyones career. Professionals are continuously selling: not just products, but convincing colleagues about ideas/improvements, selling solutions when real problems appear, selling themselves for a promotion or for a new job, and many other situations. The tools and experiences learned in this course will be priceless for many critical career situations
  - Sales vs. Marketing: main differences, responsibilities design, models of sales-marketing relationships in companies
  - Sales Cycle Models: Sales Funnel Mapping Tool, Target Segment-Leads-Prospects-First Customer evolution follow-up
  - Pre-Sales Process: Prospect selection, Customer sales-related decision roles, Matching customer decision processes and sales processes
  - Early Sales Process Stages: Relationship opening, Effective Sales Presentation design types / delivery / persuasion tools
  - Mid-Sales Process Stages: Practical sales negotiations, full set of sales objections types, objection resolution strategies

  Course contents

  Globalisation processes, transnational commerce and high levels of professional mobility have served to increase cultural diversity in the workplace, thus requiring managers to become more aware of and sensitive to the role that culture plays in international business. Because most cultural assumptions reside in the unconscious mind, the content and approach of this course is designed to:
  1. Increase one's understanding of the role of culture and its effects on relationships with distinctive others, with an emphasis on culture's impact on communication processes and business practices.
  2. To critically examine theoretical frameworks which are employed in order to study culture, including both generalised and particularistic perspectives as well as individual and shared values, and to increase one's understanding of culturally-based communication styles and semiotic codes.
  3. To develop critical thinking skills in the study of culture, particularly regarding the use of the nation as a unit of analysis as contrasted with more individualistic perspectives.
  4. To help facilitate the development of intercultural competences in inter- and multicultural business contexts.

  Assessment criteria

  Assessment criteria - grade 1 and 2

  The student is assessed based on 1) attendance and continuous demonstration of skills, 2) effective participation in a group-work project, and 3) An individual self-reflection of the student’s experiences in the course.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  Intended Learning Outcomes: It is highly recommended that you go through the following Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of the Economics course of the JAMK as below. These ILOs are not only customized in the context of Economics course, but also provide the guidelines that you will hopefully attain in this course.
  
  1. Analytical Business Skills (IBBUS)-
  You can acquire Analytical Business Skills (IBBUS) by analyzing the key variables that are primarily related to the macro-economy and at the same time influence business operations, strategic decisions and potential outcomes by applying various analytical techniques and methods learned in the course and inter-disciplinary perspectives/concepts/techniques adopted from Finance and Accounting to solve complex challenges in diverse business scenarios. You will get several opportunities to study and analyze the macroeconomic concepts that can help you to acquire an analytical mindset when evaluating key patterns and trends in business activity.
  
  2 Critical Thinking (IBCRI)-
  Specifically, to study Economics or any other business studies course or any discipline, in general, it is of utmost importance for you to adopt the attitude of Critical Thinking (IBCRI). Reviewing academic literature critically, analyzing and evaluating economic and business data, deliberating diverse approaches, comparing the resultant outcomes, and making value additive informed business decisions and action plans are vital exercises if you want to succeed in academia and the corporate world. Understanding of the true, objective and unbiased business information that helps managers to plan, revise and revisit their business strategies, financial targets, policy formulation, and planning process. Recognizing the process of understanding how business information assists to make corporate decision-making is a core element of this course. One of the hallmarks of this ILO is to understand, interpret and infer economic phenomena in the light of a dynamic global business environment that comprises various norms, values, traditions, beliefs, policies, rules, regulations, technical specifications, and legal practices. Identifying, outlining, practicing and synthesizing core economic concepts that help to deliberate and debate diverse views and perspectives about the structure and function of the modern market economy and potential world economic order are the key features of the course.
  
  3 Communication Skills (IBCOM)-
  Since in this course communicating the inferences made and interpretations drawn based on the business and economic data analysis responsibly, effectively and professionally in English, including in examination, written reports, presentations, formal correspondence, and on social media, are highly important, therefore, you will need to develop your Communication Skills (IBCOM). Analyzing and synthesizing of the fundamental economic concepts carrying multiple as well as conflicting interpretations will help you to express views and opinions in a clear, coherent and orderly manner.
  
  4 Collaborative Skills (IBCOL)-
  You will get several opportunities to participate enthusiastically in intercultural and multicultural settings, demonstrate team building and leadership skills, and implement conflict resolution skills in numerous situations. These Collaborative Skills (IBCOL) will be immensely useful to you during the course.
  
  5 Ethical, Sustainable and Responsible Conduct (IBESR)-
  Ethical, Sustainable and Responsible Conduct (IBESR) ILO focuses on safeguarding interests of different stakeholders in an unbiased manner to promote the corporate value system, which is humane, fair and equitable. As a student, you need to acquire a moral and ethical mindset to ascertain and disclose true and unbiased business and economic scenarios and their fallouts.
  
  6 Personal Skills (IBPER)
  Personal Skills (IBPER) ILO aims to help you in activating personal and professional development by reflecting upon and deepening personal learning, and to positively affect one’s own life and those around them. You not only understand the theoretical underpinnings and their applications in the broader sense but also identify the specific skills that you can relate to them which can find its applications in your personal and professional aspects of life.

  Planned learning activities, teaching methods and guidance

  Face-to-face learning and distance learning
  
  Flipped classroom model will be used to implement this course.
  Thus, pre-class learning is vital for the successful implementation of the flipped learning model. At course workspace, the teacher will provide you with lecture notes and slides. Each student has to familiarise him/herself with the pre-class learning content. I strongly suggest that students should also gather some other resources and expose themselves to the focal subject area. In the classroom, we will put a greater focus on applying the conceptual knowledge rather than factual recall or straight transfer of the information.

  Learning materials and recommended literature

  Required Text Book
  Kotler, P., Armstrong, G., Harris, L. C., & Piercy, N. (2017). Principles of marketing: 7th European edition.
  
  In the classroom, we will learn marketing concepts by discussing the marketing stories of real companies, critical-thinking exercises, sharing advice and thoughts with peers to mention a few. Outside class, students will work individually on weekly Individual assignments that comprise of multiple-choice questions (MCQ's), essay questions and short case analysis. Also, students in groups will work to solve the company cases and present their analysis in the classroom.
  Please check the learning platform on a regular basis for learning material.
