For example, many firms have found that evaluating offshore sourcing alternatives is essential to a well-run, cost effective organization. Alternatively, by developing export markets, firms have highlighted the need for effective supply networks throughout the world. Conversely, companies located in other countries have also broadened their sourcing and marketing considerations geographically-they look toward global supply strategies and operations to provide competitive advantage through efficiency, effectiveness and differentiation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EToday\u2019s supply managers are finding that they need to do much work in terms of conceptualizing, designing, and implementing initiatives that may be effective globally. In addition, supply managers need to understand the risks inherent in sourcing globally and be able to develop mitigation strategies for these risks. This course and the associated case studies, activities and discussions address key issues and topics that are essential to the global aspects of supply and risk management.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003EWHO SHOULD ATTEND\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESourcing and procurement managers, supply chain managers, logistics and supply chain planners,
