The study subject focuses on the Geographic information systems (GIS). This are systems for capturing, storing, checking, integrating, manipulating, analyzing and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the Earth. GIS are interconnected hardware, software, data, people, organizations, and institutional arrangements.

It may seem obvious that GIS has something to offer logistics. Logistics is mainly concerned with issues surrounding the transportation or transmission of materials, services and information across geographic space. There are some impressive GIS tools designed for analyzing and managing transportation systems. These include network routing (particularly traveling salesman, vehicle routing, and related procedures) and facility location algorithms.

At the study subject will be discussed – Fundamentals of GIS – Spatial data -Spatial data modeling – Editing spatial data – Data analysis – Network analysis – Maps as output

The primary purpose of the study subject is to understand the theoretical basis and practical applicability of GIS in logistics and transport.

People are every companies key driving force, because without them even the original idea of a business can not get off the ground. Successful companies acknowledge the importance of employees for their performance, as competent employees represent a significant competitive advantage.

In this course you will learn about the development and the importance of the management of employees in the organization, planning and personnel selection, development and training of employees, how to motivate and reward employees, how to evaluate results of employees, employee psychological contract and employee communication and relations .

Acquired knowledge in this course allows you to successfully operate in logistics or any other organization . Also, you will benefit from lessons learned from your impending entry into the labour market, the development of your own career, recognizing the importance of people within the supply chain, logistics activities and within individual organizations and effective communication among employees.

In the course English in logistics 2 we will further develop professional language and communication skills in the field of logistics, with the focus being on supply chains and international exchange of goods and services. Lectures will be dedicated to developing writing, speaking, listening and reading skills through the exploration of authentic materials and case studies.  Language and communication skills will be developed in the framework of the following topics: company structure and management, supply chains, international exchange of goods, and sustainable transport and logistics. In the framework of international exchange of goods and services, special attention will be paid to international transport documents.
Related to the topics discussed in the course English in logistics 2,  we will also  revise and further develop knowledge and use of fundamental grammatical structures, including active and passive voice and common noun + preposition and common verb + preposition combinations.
Vocabulary and skills gained in this course will prove useful to students who will engage in professional communication in organisations involved in international supply chains.
