Future-oriented thinking and actions are more important than ever before – in our economy, in our society, and in our times in general. As one of the most important influential elements, operations & supply chains need to be up-to-date in strategic planning, tactical decision-making & long-term success. We have the necessary equipment and skills to face our current challenges in this department!
For the mentioned aspects, a diverse skill set needs to be established. Starting with solid management and leadership skills as one of the main factors, our future leaders need to be prepared for all measures, models & systems, & get an exact scope of future operations & supply chain chances & challenges.
Detailed insights into the structures and processes of companies are the key to success. Our leaders of tomorrow will be getting and feeling fit in all required areas, such as sourcing & supplies, final logistics, product & process quality, cost & materials management and more.
In our time it is of utmost importance to take up an international approach when educating our future leaders and influencers. For this TU Wien ACE started a cooperation with CalTech, to fulfil these requirements in the best way possible. Two continents and two highly qualitative perspectives are therefore embedded in this specially designed MBA program for an international cohort of learners and students. As an add-on an international certification for professional supply chain managers is included in the specialisation of the curriculum as well. Thus, look up from your process chart, deepen your skills and expand your network! It’s worth it!
This programme covers the latest thinking in global sourcing, logistics and supply chain management.
