Although not every manager will have direct control over a firm’s operating processes, all managers are, invariably, indirect stakeholders in the operations of a firm, its subsidiaries, and/or its partners. This course aims to equip students to understand of the processes of a firm in order to assess its operations thoughtfully, identify root causes of operational failure, and develop recommendations using analytics as a means of structured decision-making, with the ultimate goal of achieving impactful and sustainable operational improvement.
