Operations Management (OM) concerns the design, planning, execution and control of systems and activities directly related to producing goods or providing services. This includes strategic issues such as product and process design, and facility layout, as well as more tactical and operational issues such as production planning and scheduling, inventory management and quality management.

Managing operations is a complex and challenging task due to the current business trends such as globalization, cost control, expanding product variety, and continuous technological innovations. The course will introduce the students to the main concepts, tools and trade-offs in OM decision making.

Students will learn a powerful tool to better understand economic environments: the economic way of thinking. By mastering the logical principles of economic thinking, students will be able to anticipate the behavior of economic agents (consumers, producers, workers, investors, but also their future employers and employees) and, thus, better fulfill tasks in managing positions.

With the Digital Enterprise and technology disruption, several new disciplines have emerged: Big data, Data Governance, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Mobility Technologies, Cloud Computing, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchains, etc. One subject is common to all of these trends: Data. To take advantage of the intelligence created by the collection of Data, we need a set of methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information so as to enable more effective strategic, tactical, and operational insights and decision-making. The objective of this course is to find out how disruptive technologies can help companies and managers increase speed, agility and improve the timing for successful manoeuvers.

Digital technology is becoming an enabler of digital transformation in many organizations. Therefore, organizations need to rapidly adapt to new technologies in order to increase their competitive advantage. The course focuses on the impact of digital technologies (such as the internet of things, augmented and virtual reality, big data and analytics, additive manufacturing, cognitive technologies) on organizations and their business models, products and services, and managing those technologies to achieve their maximum desired impact. The main goal of the seminar is for students to understand the role of digital technologies in different organizational settings. The course covers the topics via interactive lectures and multiple case studies.
