This course is focused on entrepreneurial management developed within the concept of International Commercial Logistics -ICL- which should contribute to optimize foreign commercial operations in terms of cost, time and quality of service. This is a tool for the IFD managers of export and import companies in their foreign commerce business decision making with the aim of facilitating the uniform flow of cargo in its international transport, which involves logistics service providers.

The main objective is to support import and export enterprises to follow the golden rule of the IFD: “Transporting the proper product in the required amount to the proper place at the lowest total cost to satisfy consumers’ needs in the international market Just on Time -JOT- and total quality”.
