From the perspective of a director of operations, a vice president of manufacturing, or a senior-level general manager with responsibility for the production of products and services, this course makes an in-depth examination of the operations function in firms.
Students examine the primary importance of manufacturing and operations in the formulation and implementation of business and corporate strategy in companies. Using case studies, the course looks at strategic decisions and how they influence the achievement of the firm's goals and specifically at the role general managers of operations play in integrating those decisions with overall business and corporate strategies. Students develope a managerial point of view and gain understanding in "state of the art" strategic management thinking.
