Course background:
Most companies face a constant pressure from changes in surrounding factors which constantly creates an adaptation need and an increasing task complexity. The consequence of the changes is an increased internal focus on coordinating cross-functional problem solving to meet the increased demands from customers and the company's focus on cost control. In addition, the need to consider the produced added-value benefits throughout the production chain and not just in each individual company increases, thus focus is now directed towards the company as part of a network.
The objective of the course:
The objective of the course is to give students a broad insight into and understanding of the company's position in the external network and then to relate this insight and understanding to build the company's internal processes, systems and structures needed to deliver the desired benefits and products.
