Overview

The strategic and effective design of operational capabilities is a powerful source of long-term competitive advantage. Students will learn how an organization can achieve sustainable growth through its technology and operations strategy, which encompasses key decisions about its facilities, technology and process choices, and relationships with business partners both upstream and downstream in the supply chain.
