Students will have the opportunity to examine current practice in supply chains/networks and organisational operations ( including, but not limited to design, procurement and logistics) and contrast mainstream approaches to these practices with viewpoints which emphasise sustainability best practices in the evaluation and delivery of these functions. The module will help to identify the key drivers that incentivise or mandate the adoption of sustainability best-practices across a range of levels from Government policy to consumer pressure as well as the potential barriers or restraining forces which may impede the adoption of such. Students will have the opportunity to evaluate such practices in an organisational setting (their own, or another with which they are familiar), design and set out rational arguments for appropriate targets for change and set out plans to effectively deliver such change in the organisational setting.
