Operations Management: Theory and Practice (Third Edition)

Operations Management: Theory and Practice is the outcome of continuous testing of alternative ideas, concepts and pedagogical designs with MBA students, working executives from diverse industries, and research scholars. The basic concept of this book is to incorporate the salient features one usually finds in international textbooks, and at the same time, enrich the book with contextually relevant examples. New chapter: Sustainability is increasingly becoming important for businesses. Several of the current students will be required to play a key role in managing businesses that are also sustainable in their operations. In order to equip the students with the necessary understanding of the related issues, a new chapter—Chapter 3 titled &ldquoSustainability in Operations"— has been introduced in this edition.
