COURSE LECTURE MATERIALS: Course lecture materials include business cases, PowerPoint slides, industry journal articles, and questions from the text. All class materials used for the lecture will be available on our Carmen website for downloading prior to lecture.

COURSE This course will consist of instructor and class led discussions, topic lecture, hands-on workshops, FORMAT: guest speakers and case exercises. You are expected to attend all classes and to be prepared to discuss and/or apply assigned readings to the class discussion. Students will take an active role in participation in team settings to accomplish he hands-on workshops and cases. This will include class preparation of cases and presentation to the class in a “board room” format.

CLASS POINT TOTAL: Grades will be based upon performance on the following:

Assignment Percentage Group Exercise / Presentation – Exercise 1 25% Group Exercise / Presentation – Exercise 2 25% Group Participation / Peer Grade 15% Individual Class Participation 15% Sustainability Policy 20% Total 100%

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS: 1. Group Exercise / Presentation. This is a unique course that combines theory and practice. In the first few sessions, students will provided with tools to analyze for sustainability, to develop sustainable initiatives and communication and project techniques on how to “sell” these initiatives to senior management. Students will then be tasked to complete two exercises: A Product Design for Sustainably Initiative, and an In-Chain Sustainability Initiative. Each of these initiatives will be developed IN-CLASS, with a team that will analyze a case or set of circumstances and then will apply the material learned in class to create a specific initiative. These initiatives will then be presented to a corporate-like board for evaluation and approval. Each initiative will span a two week period, i.e. two class sessions, or about 6 total hours of in-class time. Students will be graded using a rubric that will evaluate the quality of the exercise done by the group and the ultimate outcome. (Rubric is provided at the end of the syllabus).

2. Group Participation / Peer Grade: As mentioned in item 1 above, a major portion of the class will be engaged in team participation based hands-on learning. As part of this, teams will be developed for each exercise and the members of each team will evaluate the others based on a standard evaluation provided to each student. A portion of the student’s grade will be based on this evaluation

3. Individual Class Participation: This class is an intensive hands-on immersion based learning experience that is completed over a relatively short 8 week period. In addition, 50% of the class will be spent working, during class period, in teams on hands-on exercises. As a result, there is a high expectation of individual participation in the class as both a team member and individual participant. Individual participation will be measured based on Developed on: 1/18/2018 Page 2 of 7 Marketing & Logistics 4385 Building a Sustainable Supply Chain

attendance, active participation in class beyond just team membership, and total contribution of the individual. As there will be little outside work, class attendance and active participation is a must.

4. Sustainability Policy. Students will be tasked to write a core sustainability policy for a company that contains the key elements of a sustainability policy for one of several “scenario” companies.

ASSIGNMENTS You are expected to approach each assignment with the professionalism required in business today. AND DUE DATES This is particularly relevant for your interactions with teams and the “board meetings” as part of fulfilling the requirements of this course. All assignments, unless otherwise specified, are due on the day of class during the class period. In rare instances, the instructor may allow a team to turn in an assignment after the end of the class period. If done, this will be done for all teams with a firm date and no penalties will be assessed provided the assignment is delivered by that time. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation are expected and will be considered in the grading of all assignments. GRADING SCALE:

ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS: Fisher College of Business strongly enforces University attendance policies. As per University rule 3335-8-33, any student may be dis-enrolled from a course for failure to attend by the first Friday of the term, or by the 3rd instructional day of the term, or by the second class meeting, whichever occurs first. In-class exercises cannot be made up if missed without a valid medical excuse or bona fide family emergency.

All tests, written exercises, and papers are to be your own work. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Thus, the Ohio State University and the Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) expect that all students have read and understand the University’s Code of Student Conduct, and that all students will complete all academic and scholarly assignments with fairness and honesty. Students must recognize that failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in the University’s Code of Student Conduct and this syllabus may constitute “Academic Misconduct.”

The Ohio State University’s Code of Student Conduct (Section 3335-23-04) defines academic misconduct as: “Any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the University, or subvert the educational process.” Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, and possession of unauthorized materials during an examination. Ignorance of the University’s Code of Student Conduct is never considered an “excuse” for academic misconduct, so I recommend that you review the Code of Student Conduct and, specifically, the sections dealing with academic misconduct. If I suspect that a student has committed academic misconduct in this course, I am obligated by University Rules to report my suspicions to the Committee on Academic Misconduct. If COAM determines that you have violated the University’s Code of Student Conduct (i.e., committed academic misconduct), the sanctions for the misconduct could include a failing grade in this course and suspension or dismissal from the University. If you have any questions about the above policy or what constitutes academic misconduct in this course, please contact me. Other sources of information on academic misconduct (integrity) to which you can refer include:  The Committee on Academic Misconduct web pages (oaa.osu.edu/coam/home.html)  Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity (oaa.osu.edu/coam/ten- suggestions.html)  Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (www.northwestern.edu/uacc/8cards.html)

AMERICANS If you have a disability, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act WITH (ADA), which requires classroom accommodation or auxiliary aids, please DISABILITIES inform me of your needs during the first week of class so that I can take ACT: appropriate action.

COURSE The schedule, policies, and assignments contained in this course syllabus or on my website are subject DISCLAIMER: to change in the event of extenuating circumstances, class progress, or by mutual agreement between the instructor and the students.

OTHER: All cellular phones, pagers and other electronic communication devices are to be turned off during class. Any electronic recording of the lecture or presentations is not authorized. The only exceptions will be those authorized in writing by the Office of Disability Services.

CLASS SCHEDULE: Note: I may need to revise the schedule to accommodate class progress, provide a more in-depth focus, or to take advantage of additional guest speakers should the opportunity arise. Because this once a week format is a challenge, I may alter the schedule to make it better if the need arrises.
