SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH OPERATIONS!

In today s technology–intensive new economy, companies can no longer afford to view operations as a series of isolated technical problems. Those that do will not survive. To succeed, you have to be able to recognize competitive opportunities and know how to apply operating capabilities to take advantage of them.

In Operations, Strategy, and Technology: Pursuing the Competitive Edge the long–awaited follow–up to the highly successful classic, Restoring Our Competitive Edge Robert Hayes, Gary Pisano, David Upton, and Steven Wheelwright take a fresh look at the foundations of corporate success. These four authors, all leading authorities from the Harvard Business School, show how to achieve a competitive edge through superior operations in a competitive environment that is increasingly global in scope, reliant on information technology, and comprised of networks of suppliers and collaborations.
