Operations Management

Operations management is concerned with the fundamental activities of organizations: how they provide goods and services.

One of the earliest branches of business and management studies, the increase in international competition has seen a resurgence of interest in the development of this field.;This collection is international in scope and addresses the four key areas of the subject: the foundations of operations management; the interaction between operations and strategy; the role of technology; and "Japanization" and "just in time" techniques.

With an introduction providing an overview of the key concepts, and an extensive index, this four-volume collection should prove a valuable reference tool and teaching aid.
