            <p>The modern global economy demands a sophisticated understanding of how value chains are structured, optimized, and protected. "Managing Global Value Chains, Sourcing, and Operations" provides a comprehensive exploration of the strategic and operational decisions that drive international business. As global trade shifts from traditional models toward reglobalization, organizations must navigate complex sourcing landscapes, evaluate location economics, and implement robust duty optimization structures such as foreign trade zones and customs bonded warehouses. This course delves into the critical mechanics of international trade, including the precise application of Incoterms 2020, to ensure that supply chain professionals can effectively manage total landed costs and mitigate cross-border risks.</p>

<p>Beyond foundational logistics, the curriculum addresses the advanced challenges of modern supply chain management. Participants will examine strategies for building supply chain resilience and achieving N-tier visibility, moving beyond the traditional purchase order boundary to map and secure deep-tier networks. The course also tackles stringent regulatory environments through detailed modules on export control compliance, strict liability, and screening mechanics. Finally, by exploring deep-tier finance solutions and the integration of artificial intelligence in closing the execution gap, learners will be equipped to transform theoretical models into defensible, data-driven sourcing and operational decisions.</p>
