- Abstract:
Explores the difference between service and manufacturing operations, and the degree of distinct management skills and tools required. Analyzes cases selected from a variety of service operations with a particular focus on e-commerce. Guest speakers from specific service industries discuss the essence of managing those operations. This course covers organizational, strategic and operational aspects of managing Supply Networks (SNs) from domestic and international perspectives. Topics include alternative SN structures, strategic alliances, design of delivery systems and the role of third party logistics providers. Many of the activities exchanged among enterprises in a SN are of a service nature, and the final output is often a combination of tangible products and services which the end-customer purchases. A series of concepts, frameworks and analytic tools are provided to better understand the management of service operations. Guest speakers share their experiences in managing SNs and services. Restricted to MIT Sloan Fellows in Innovation and Global Leadership.
