Operations Management: An Integrated Approach
provides a state-of-the-art account of the systems,
processes, people and technology that determine an
organisation`s strategy and success. With contributions
from leading experts internationally, the text takes a
comprehensive, comparative, and best-practice
approach and applies this specifically to the Asia-
Pacific region. Rigorous in scholarship yet eminently
accessible in style, Operations Management is replete
with pedagogical features - figures and tables,
discussion exercises, `Learnings from the Internet`, and
a diversity of long and short case studies from around
the world. Students are taken on a seamless journey
from the fundamentals of operations management,
through to the multiple approaches, the various
innovations, challenges and risks, and ultimately to
models of sustainability and evaluative tools and
techniques. The text effectively prepares future
managers across every sector of the economy -
whether in services, manufacturing, profit or non-profit
environments - to lead, organise, plan and control a set
of resources, in pursuit of identified goals. The book will
be supported by an extensive companion website
featuring PowerPoint slides for each chapter, sample
answers, teaching notes and figures/images for
presentations. Available from February 2009 at http://
