Description

The operations and technology management element of this module focuses on operations and management of technology in a wide variety of industries. Operations management is the design and management of the processes that transform inputs into finished goods or services. Operations is one of the primary functions of a firm, similar to Finance or Marketing. The operations and technology management element provides a foundation for understanding the operations of a firm by exploring a simple question: How do companies actually do things?

Operations management is also a key competence for consulting companies that are called to analyse and streamline the processes of their clients. Technology is often intertwined with the operations of a firm, so students will also see the interplay between technology and operations, and together how they can provide a critical competitive advantage. The operations and technology element focuses on operations in a wide variety of industries including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, hospitality, retailing, transportation, among others.

Operations Analytics focuses on quantitative frameworks that make use of data, statistics, and mathematics to guide managers to better decisions and ways to improve their organisation's operations and supply chains.
