EXMBM523-24B (HAM)
Digital Business and Supply Chain Management
What this paper is about
This paper addresses two connected areas of business which all managers need to be familiar with, including Supply Chain Management and Digital Business. Digital Business discusses technology developments that are not only changing how our businesses operate but are ushering in novel business models with the use of data analytics software. Both the digitisation of operations and digital business models have implications for a company’s supply chain. Therefore, half of the paper deals with Supply Chain Management while the other half deals with Digital Business topics.
How this paper will be taught
This paper will be taught using a variety of online and in-class teaching and learning strategies that give you the flexibility to participate in discussion sessions and participate online.
In the Digital Business half, classes are divided between Lecture and Lab works. A combination of learning activities are used to assist your understanding, answer questions, analyse cases, and provide insights that help you 'scaffold' learning. Recorded video lectures, online content, and required reading will be prescribed.
Whether you attend in-class or on Zoom, sessions are synchronous, meaning that it is suggested that you participate during the time scheduled slot. Although lectures are recorded, group/practical activities cannot be recorded and part of your learning will happen during these activities. Thus, if you are not able to synchronously participate in the class, it is expected that you would be responsible for using the online resources to finish the study and the assessments.
Refer to Moodle for more details.
