Operations Management for Competitive Advantage Review

This was my first exposure to operations management, as a senior MBA student; though I am familiar with many of the concepts from earlier coursework in statistics and accounting. I found the text to be well written and easy to understand. The sample problems within the chapters were straight forward and easy to follow. Having taking this class as a summer course, I was able to read the majority (75%) of the textbook within a 4-week period easily. The only drawback may be in how the actual theory pertains to real life models. I would recommend this text for anyone who is new to the field as the overview is excellent. A background in statistics and accounting (at least from coursework standpoint) would also be helpful in comprehending the material.

Excellent Read for a novice

As a novice in the field and a first year MBA student, I found it very easy to read, and even easier to understand. Great emphasis is placed on Case studies, which in my view gives the book a practical edge.Unfortunately it is very focussed on the American market. Yet it's information should be applicable even the markets of Developing Countries
