Operations may not run the world, but it makes the world run

There has never been a more exciting time to study operations management. Fast and frequent changes to the way goods and services are produced and delivered, as well as an increased focus on the social responsibility of operations, present new opportunities and challenges for the business world. Operations management is critical to the success and survival of organisations everywhere, no matter how large or small.

Essentials of Operations Management, 3^rd edition is a concise introduction to the subject and an invaluable resource, ideal for undergraduates in business studies, technical or joint degrees, as well as MBA and postgraduate students. Based on Slack, Brandon-Jones and Burgess's leading Operations Management, it focuses on essential core topics, without compromising the authoritative, clear and highly practical approach that has become the trademark of the authors.

• New ‘Responsible Operations' section in every chapter summarises how the topic touches upon social, ethical and environmental issues.
