Objective and Contents of the Course
| Course Objectives: | This course explores the concept of global logistics, focusing on various types of logistics hubs and the demand dynamics driving their development. It will cover case studies of major global logistics hubs and their characteristics, with special attention to ports like Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Marseille, Barcelona, Trieste, Piraeus, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Los Angeles. The course will also examine Turkey’s vision of becoming a logistics hub, its transportation policies, and relevant case studies, while highlighting the economic and employment roles of the logistics sector. Objectives of the course: • Provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the concept of global logistics and the role logistics hubs play in the global supply chain. • Equip students with the ability to critically assess and compare major global logistics hubs in different regions (Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and the U.S.) and their impact on international trade and transportation networks. • Enable students to evaluate the demand dynamics that drive the development of logistics hubs and their integration within global trade networks. • Develop students’ understanding of transportation policies, particularly the European Union’s and Turkey’s logistics strategies, and how these policies shape the global logistics landscape. • Help students comprehend the logistics sector's employment structure and its critical role in the economy, particularly its relationship with the production sector. • Foster practical understanding by applying theoretical logistics concepts to real-world cases, including detailed analyses of ports and transportation hubs like Izmir Alsancak Port. • Encourage students to critically evaluate the logistics strategies of different regions, identify challenges, and propose solutions for optimizing global logistics operations. |
| Course Content: | The course will cover topics including international organizations and events related to the logistics sector, transportation policies of Turkey and the EU, regional and global collaborations in transportation, and recent developments in the field of logistics both in Turkey and worldwide. |
