Abstract
The course focuses on the opportunities created by new ways of cargo transportation and new technical philosophy supporting this system, i.e. transport logistics. The main stress of the study is set on the aspects of utilization existing global supply chain, both maritime and terrain, instead of its design and alteration. Understanding the essence and components of new logistic system is necessary for running a successful established business or developing a new innovative venture. The course covers major topics in the modern understanding of logistics, divided into two main areas: general logistics and transport logistics, the exploration of their essence and role in development of successive business models. Working individually in classes (cases) and in analytical issues (essays), the students will have a chance to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge to the cases of real-world companies seeking to develop sustainable and effective market position.
