52708	Lecture-Discussion	BRM	11:00AM -12:20PM	MW	2057 Business Instructional Fac	Torelli, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Brand Management Section Info: Marketers recognize that brands are the most valuable assets that a firm can have. Companies sometimes go through turbulent times, but their brands frequently withstand these difficulties and stay over time. As important as brands are for a company’s long-term success, the study of how to build strong brands has been somewhat neglected in business schools’ programs. Brand Management is an advanced Marketing elective that addresses the key issues of brand asset management faced by firms in the 21st century. Brand Management helps to integrate theory and practice in order to provide students with an actionable theoretical framework that they can use in the workplace. Class discussions will focus on providing theoretical tools for uncovering and understanding the associations that consumers establish with their brands, and for predicting the effects of these associations on brand-related judgments and behaviors. This course draws heavily on theories of consumer behavior to explain how consumers react to a firm’s brand strategies. The course will make you aware of current issues in brand management and will encourage discussions about how to address these issues using theoretically sound approaches.

Today companies are operating in an increasingly competitive environment –there is an increasing need to bring new products and services to the market. As such, it is imperative that companies bring products to market efficiently, and also transform themselves into organizations that continuously capture innovation and convert it into commercial value. Design plays a significant role in New Product Development and is intrinsically combined with Technology and Business in the process of creating the new. New product Development is “powered by deep understanding of the consumer needs and the role of product to fulfil the users requirements.” This course will explore 4C’s - consumer, context, constraints and concepts within the process of creating new product/services. The course uses cases and a project for students to apply the processes and tools used to design and develop new products and services. Restriction(s): Restricted to MS:Business Administrtn -UIUC.
43946	Lecture-Discussion	OA	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	245 Wohlers Hall	Scott, N	Part of Term: B Date Range: 03/12/18-05/02/18 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Operations Analysis Section Info: This course is open to students pursuing the Graduate Minor or Concentration in Supply Chain Management. Operations management is the management of business processes. That is, the recurring activities of a firm that enable the efficient production of goods and services. This course provides analysis tools for operations management. Along with finance and marketing, operations is one of the three primary functions of a firm. At the risk of being simplistic, one may say that marketing generates the demand for products (or services), finance provides the capital, and operation produces the product (or services). Generally, operation spans the entire organization: Chief Operating Officers (COO)’s in many companies are in charge of R&D, design/engineering, production operations, marketing, sales, support and service. This course is structured around 3 themes: (1) capacity management, (2) the design and analysis of processes and (3) inventory management analysis. From these themes, the course aims to (1) familiarize you with the major operational problems and issues that confront firms/managers, and (2) give you exposure to and practice with the language, concepts, insights and tools that firms employ to combat the operational problems they incur in day-to-day activities. This course should be of particular interest to people aspiring a career in designing and managing business processes (e.g., management consulting), but also for those who intend to work in the interfaces between operations and other business functions such as finance, marketing, managerial accounting and human resources. Restriction(s): Restricted to MS:Business Administrtn -UIUC, MBA: (PT) Business Adm -- UIUC, MS: Technology Management-UIUC, or MBA:Bus Administration -UIUC.

This course is designed to be at the intersection of Supply Chain Management and Business Analytics. With increased IT infrastructure, improved data capture and storage technologies, and improved networking technologies, supply chains are getting inundated with data from several different sources, such as consumer transactions, consumer feedback, consumer inquiries (on-line click streams), supplier contacts, supplier coordination, and supplier evaluation, on several aspects of supply chain such as quality, cost, demand, inventory, risk, and planning, and in various formats such as social media, text, audio, video, geo-spatial, RFID and sensor data, etc. Advances in computing infrastructure such as cluster computing and cloud computing have enabled the storage, retrieval, analysis, and sharing of data over a wide geographical domain including many different supply chain nodes and agents. It is estimated that supply chain data is doubling every two years. This data explosion within supply chains have opened up the opportunity for managers to analyze the data using appropriate tools and techniques to generate insights that can help make better decisions and consequently improve supply chain efficiencies. Restriction(s): Restricted to MBA: (PT) Business Adm -- UIUC, MS: Technology Management-UIUC, or MBA:Bus Administration -UIUC.

50079	Lecture-Discussion	STS	3:30PM -6:20PM	T	243 Wohlers Hall	Liang, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Strategic Sourcing Section Info: This course is open to students pursuing the Graduate Minor or Concentration in Supply Chain Management. The Walt Disney Company realized $300 millions in annual savings, BellSouth improved its results by $1 billion, and IBM achieved 5% improvement in their margins are just a few of the many companies exploring the benefits of applying strategic sourcing concepts. Strategic Sourcing, also known as the next evolutionary step in supply-chain, is one of the foundation blocks for transforming an organization’s practices to world-class supply management. It is a systematic approach constructed on fact-based analysis and market intelligence for optimizing an organization's supply base and improving the overall value proposition via coordinated effort between the different areas of the organization and external partners. This course will present the strategic sourcing process and its focuses on helping senior executives and managers gain sustainable competitive advantage from their supply chains. You'll learn how to go beyond negotiation, cost-cutting and contract management functions, and successfully lead the redesign and adaptation of supply chains to drive maximum benefit for the entire organization. As the scope of strategic sourcing extends beyond supplier price negotiation, we will also take into account on the total cost of ownership incorporating customer needs, organizational goals, and market conditions rather than just cost as well as on getting the best product/service at the best value rather than getting the cheapest product/service. Hence, the objective of this course is to study how to enclose the reduction of cost while maintaining and/or improving quality. Restriction(s): Restricted to MS:Business Administrtn -UIUC, MBA: (PT) Business Adm -- UIUC, MS: Technology Management-UIUC, or MBA:Bus Administration -UIUC.
