This is particularly timely because of the increasing demand for courses in operations strategy at all levels. Practitioners and academics alike are waking up to the power that can be released through the effective strategic management of any organization's operations resources. In fact, operations is increasingly seen as the area where the dynamic requirements of the marketplace and the developing capabilities of the organization's resources must be reconciled. Building on concepts from strategic management, operations management, marketing, and human resources, this text takes the reader toward a rich and potent understanding of operations strategy, making it suited to the needs of advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and practicing managers.
