The objective of International negotiations and coaching part is to help the participants to be more effective leaders.

The objective of the Supply chain and operations management part of the course is to introduce the main challenges that operations and supply chain managers face, as well to discuss how to deal with those challenges. For example, it can be argued that supply chain disruptions, advances in technology, and sustainability focus during the last decade had impacted design, planning and execution of companies‘ operations.
