Description (max. 300 characters):

In the module MSE students get direct and in-situ view of the Chinese market for Swiss companies with regard to procurement, manufacturing, sales and collaboration in the fields of technology and supply chain management. Students gather insight views about the opportunities and risks to enter the Chinese market and learn strategies to successfully deal with these framework conditions. The module also helps students to bridge the cultural differences between the two countries by facilitating mutual understanding and cooperation. 

Contents and Learning Objectives:

In line with engineering and logistics practice, manufacturing and servicing of technical products, the fields of planning and transportation are also in the focus. Field trips to Swiss and Chinese companies cooperating in common R&D and manufacturing technologies as well as supply chains provide the participating students an excellent insight into good and best practices in these fields.

Lectures with strong focus both on engineering and logistics/SCM create the methodological and theoretical foundations for a sound knowledge transfer, embedded in practical training and observation.
