Operations Strategy 4^th edition

Nigel Slack and Michael Lewis

Operations Strategy is focused on the interaction between operational resources and external requirements. Companies such as Apple, Google and Tesco have transformed their prospects through the way they manage their operations resources strategically, turning their operations capabilities into a formidable asset. These and other examples in this book illustrate the broad and long-term issues of operations strategy.

Building on concepts from strategic management, operations management, marketing and HRM, this text offers a clear insight into the more advanced topic of operations strategy in a variety of business organisations.  Comprehensive and accessible with authoritative authorship and an excellent blend of theory and practice, it is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
