It considers the role of the humanitarian logistician and discusses five of the most significant challenges facing those working in this field.
-
TEM 820 - Humanitarian Project Management
On the basis that the whole area of the preparation and response to a natural disaster falls into the Rittel and Webber’s categorization of a “wicked problem”, based on academic approaches to the “taming” of such problems, this course will consider alternate ways of managing the humanitarian logistic challenge. These will be drawn from a number of fields including those of project management and procurement as well as the area of general management.
-
TEM 830 - National and International Humanitarian Logistics
It is recognized that there are significant differences in the philosophical approach, and consequential policies, processes and procedures adopted by different countries in their preparation and response to national and international disasters.
