EMLQ Module 3 Assessment Paper Instructions

The current blockade has presented Qatar with numerous challenges around international trade, the overall economy, the global political stage, and its social development. Challenges in these spheres also present significant opportunities for leadership and change.

Cognitive biases in decision making and making thoughtful choices about global supply chain development were discussed in the module 3 courses. Professor Tinsley examined how people process information when making decisions and “cognitive blind spots.” Professor Ernst focused on the challenges facing global supply chains. The content presented in both courses was highly relevant to Qatar’s economic, social, and political development, especially as the State responds to the blockade.
