Project Overview:
During this COIL project the postgraduate students explored the theories and techniques of Category Management in Procurement and learnt from the Partner (consultant) how to appropriately apply these in industry from her international experience of doing so within blue chip companies.
Students were asked to conduct their own independent learning in teams for each of the key Category Management principles and present their findings to the Partner and the class for discussion and feedback.
This initiative gave students a well-received international exposure to the challenges and opportunities they may face when they commence future Procurement Careers.
Online Tools Used: Microsoft Teams
