Unit purpose and aim

This unit is designed to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of
current trade patterns and the structure and operation of global and multi-national
trade, business and supply chains. It includes economic, environmental, cultural,
political, and ethical issues and moves on to address how global trade is regulated,
constrained, controlled and monitored across all major modes of transport used to
move goods and crew members across borders and frontiers. Later, it examines and
considers physical and human resource issues related to extended supply chain
operation and control, including the quality assurance and development of technical
and quality standards. The unit closes by considering the options available for
international businesses wishing to minimise any negative factors, including those
associated with the environment and conducting global business.
