Reseña del libro "Operations Management (en Inglés)"
See - Understand - Discuss - Practice Operations Management makes it easy to: · identify the relevance of operations in the real-world; · understand the theory underlying the subject; · discuss and think critically about operations; · consolidate learning through practice.

Research insights point students in the direction of seminal and recent research in the field to further their reading, while learning outcomes and chapter summaries help to consolidate understanding and structure revision. The text is also augmented by extensive online resources such as animated diagrams, practice activities, video interviews, and quizzes.
