Negotiating Techniques in Purchasing and Logistics

The elective catalogue consists of application-oriented courses, which are offered in cooperation with visiting lecturers from practice. One arbitrary course can be chosen from the catalogue (each course can only be accounted for one module). The participants should apply fundamental theoretical concepts and planning models in logistics and transport in concrete cases for deepening their understanding. Problem-solving expertise for specific problems in logistics and transport is achieved by the means of exercises, case studies and presentations. Dependent on the selected subject, the characteristics of certain transport modes, methods for planning processes in supply chains or techniques for negotiating, communicating and leadership (in the context of logistics and transport) are paramount. Regarding methodological skills, group work and presenting as well as reasoning of developed solutions are taught.
