课程名称：国际商业运营 课程概述：本课程为学习者提供国际供应链、物流和外汇交易的坚实基础。外汇交易在规划和执行国际运营中扮演着重要角色，因此被纳入课程内容。课程前半部分回顾供应链管理、采购、物流和运输在当代全球商业中的关键角色。后半部分则集中于外汇风险及其缓解方法，包括财务和非财务方面的措施。 课程大纲： 1. **全球供应链**： - 讨论全球供应链（GSC）与全球采购。国际供应链旨在在全球范围内移动商品、服务、信息和资源，促进全球商业。首先定义全球供应链，提供实例，制定重要的GSC策略，并分析GSC的操作细节。接着，调查全球采购，包括重要的自行生产与外购决策，四种国际采购策略，全球采购的成本问题，以及国际供应商选择的方案。 2. **全球物流与运输**： - 探索国际供应链管理的两个子集：全球物流与国际运输。物流管理涵盖了将商品从A点运输到B点的整个过程，包括与供应商和商家的时间安排、创建进出口文档、确保运输服务以及安排送达国外目的地。运输管理则关注运输方式及其转运过程。有效的物流与运输管理对全球货物及材料的快速高效流动至关重要。 3. **国际商业外汇**： - 本模块从物流和供应链转向外汇交易。外汇风险对国外运营的财务影响很大，尤其对供应链影响显著。首先定义货币及其交易，介绍外汇交易的细节与实例。接着探讨外汇风险，包括翻译风险、交易风险和运营风险，通过实例展示外汇风险可能带来的重大负面后果。 4. **国际外汇市场与对冲**： - 在本模块中，讨论外汇风险的应对方法，即对冲技术。对冲方法一般用于降低财务风险，针对外汇风险，将介绍非财务对冲方法如现金流净额，以及包括远期、掉期、期货和期权等金融对冲方法。此外，还将回顾外汇和对冲交易发生的全球金融市场。 5. **管理全球运营：供应链管理、物流、财务与会计**： - 本模块将整合供应链管理、物流、财务和会计的知识，以帮助学习者全面理解全球运营管理的复杂性与挑战。 本课程旨在帮助学习者掌握国际商业运营中的核心概念与实践，提升其在全球市场中的竞争力。
Name:Global Supply Chains
Description:In this module, we discuss global supply chains (GSCs) and global sourcing. International supply chains are all about moving goods, services, information, and resources around the world to facilitate global business. In many ways, supply chains are the implementation of international trade and globalization. In the first lesson, we define global supply chains, provide examples, develop important GSC strategies, and conclude by examining GSC operational details. In the second lesson, we survey global sourcing. We first tackle the critical make versus buy decision, then develop four international sourcing strategies, examine costing issues for global sourcing, and conclude with a program for international vendor selection.
Name:Global Logistics and Transportation
Description:This module explores two subsets of international supply chain management – global logistics and international transportation. Logistics management is responsible for the entire process of moving goods from point A to point B, which includes working with suppliers and vendors on schedules, creating import and export documentation, securing transportation services, and arranging for delivery to foreign destinations. Transportation management focuses on the means and methods of transportation, as well as the transfer of shipments from one mode of transportation to the next. Together, effective logistics and transportation management are crucial for the fast and efficient flow of goods and materials around the globe.
Name:IB Foreign Exchange
Description:We change direction in this module from logistics and supply chains to foreign exchange. As we shall see, foreign exchange risk has a large financial impact on foreign operations, especially on supply chains. In the first lesson, we define money and currency, and then introduce details and examples of foreign currency transactions. In the second lesson we turn to foreign exchange risk, often abbreviated as "forex" exposure. We find that any business or organization that has international transactions is exposed to translation, transaction, and operating risk. With examples, we show that the downside outcomes of forex risk can be large. Anyone dealing with cross-border currency transactions needs to be aware of, and wary of, foreign exchange risk!
Name:IB Forex Markets and Hedging
Description:In the previous module, we defined three types of foreign exchange (forex) risk and presented examples of its potential financial impacts. You might ask, “OK, I get it, but what to do about it?” This week we answer that question with a discussion of forex hedging techniques. Hedging methods are generally tools used to reduce financial risk. In the case of forex risk, we will cover non-financial hedging methods such as cash flow netting, as well as financial hedging methods including forwards, swaps, futures, and options. In the second lecture we will review the amazing global financial markets where foreign exchange and forex hedging transactions occur.
Name:Managing Global Operations: SCM, Logistics, Finance, and Accounting
Description:
This course provides learners with a solid foundation in international supply, logistics, and foreign currency exchange. Foreign exchange is included in this course since it plays such an important role in planning and executing international operations. The first half of the course reviews critical roles that supply chain management, sourcing, logistics, and transportation play in contemporary global business. In the second half, the focus shifts to foreign currency exchange risks and methods for mitigating those risks, both financial and non-financial.
