The module is designed to prepare you to apply analytical
methodologies and information technology in supply chain management.
Traditionally industries have focussed on operation evaluation and performance
improvement of mainly the manufacturing process; however, the deficiency of
supply chain coordination results in severe downgrade of business
competitiveness. With advent of information technology, computers not only
improve manufacturing operation and management and also strategic
decision-making as well. This module focuses on the systems approach to the
planning, analysis, design, development, and evaluation of supply chain and
e-logistics management.

This module considers how to create customer centric strategies for e-businesses. Marketing focuses on the interaction between the producer and the consumer. Although this focus remains unchanged in e-marketing, our ability to foster this interaction with technology has been dramatically increased. The Internet provides new forms of communications like web sites, e-mail, and mobile communications. However, these technologies do not necessarily replace traditional marketing vehicles like mass media, direct mail, and telephone marketing, but instead augment them to improve the customer experience.
The primary focus of this module is how to more effectively implement marketing strategies using electronic technology. During this module we develop the notion of an interactive marketing strategy. This allows companies to interact with consumers on an individual basis and create customized products and services using personalized knowledge about a consumer. As part of this module we develop a compatible set of quantitative techniques to implement interactive marketing strategies. Throughout the module we explore examples and cases to understand how e-marketing is evolving in practice.
