Message from the Chair
The Operations, Information & Strategic Management Department consists of dedicated teachers and active and productive scholars in three distinct but mutually supportive disciplines:
- Operations Management
- Strategic Management
- Decision Analysis
This unique combination of disciplines covers the design, implementation and use of information systems and technology, the management of operations in both the goods and service producing sectors, the formulation and implementation of business strategy, and the effective development and use of analytical methods. We are clearly managerial in our orientation, but also embrace the analytic skills required for successful practice. Our courses recognize the importance of environmental, ethical, and social issues in management decision making. Our teaching methods include field studies, case studies, systems analysis, and analytical modeling.
Our courses emphasize analysis and policy formulation and are explicitly designed to deliver the skills and knowledge required by successful managers in today’s competitive environment.
Course work in these areas is suitable for those pursuing careers in consulting, manufacturing, financial services, health care services, retail, transportation, technology, government, and not-for-profit organizations. Courses in our disciplines both intersect with and transcend the usual functional areas and are appropriate for those with primary interests in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Computer Science or Human Resource Management.
Please feel free to contact us directly with any questions you may have.
