Course outline

The course aim is enable students to familiarize with and comprehend modern approaches to operations management across the spectrum of enterprises and organizations. Students should be able to develop critical comprehension of the processes and structures that construct a production system, as well as of the underlying principles and assumptions, so that they may be able to analyze its operations, design and control its behavior. Particular attention is given to the need for economics students to explore the “black box” of operational reality and to be able to comprehend the economic implications of operational and strategic choices made at the firm/organizational level.
