Transport and Logistics Strategy

TPTM6130

There is a need for managers at all levels of organisations to think strategically. This unit provides an essential set of skills to assist in guiding strategic management of transport and logistics systems in both the private and public sectors. Key economic and behavioural concepts will be introduced to help students to acquire skills in strategic thinking; however, the unit does not require a previous background in economics. The unit is divided into a number of modules: the strategic-tactical-operations (STO) framework, micro and macroeconomic concepts, preferences and demand, costing, performance benchmarking and pricing of transport and logistics services. Examples and case studies are drawn from transport and logistics freight and passenger sectors as well as all modes of transport.
