The qualification comprises five mandatory units:
Logistics and Transport – Strategic Contexts
In this unit learners will be encouraged to examine organisations from a global perspective, through case studies and models. The need for the gathering and use of externally sourced information will be investigated, as will the implications of working with global stakeholders. The unit also looks at resource utilisation, stakeholder and relationship mapping, cost benefit analysis, sustainable corporate development, and competition and risk.
