Get clear, well-structured and engaging insights into the topic of operations strategy
Operations Strategy, 6th Edition, by Slack and Lewis, builds on concepts from strategic management, operations management, marketing and HRM. The text encourages a thorough understanding of operations strategy, exploring key activities, decisions and processes adopted by a broad range of organisations in different sectors, making it the ideal text for MBA students, upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and executives. Operations strategy is fundamental to the success of any organisation and a major source of competitive advantage. The way an organisation manages their operations strategically can have a huge impact on its prospects whether large or small, for-profit or not-for-profit, in the services or manufacturing sector, international or local.
