Organisation Design,Technology and the Influence of Operations Management

Abstract

Operations managers are responsible for the design and operation of systems for manufacture, supply, transport and service. They are concerned primarily with physical resources and their deployment, the nature of the operating system, and the development and use of appropriate strategies for tackling the problems associated with that system. Operations managers' decisions inevitably influence the nature of the organisation, the nature of the jobs in it, their interrelationships, and the manner in which the whole is managed.
