networks of supply and demand, and developments in technology
* Challenging, because solutions must be must be financially sound, resource-
efficient, as well as environmentally and socially responsible
* And everywhere, because in our daily lives, whether at work or at home, we all
experience and manage processes and operations.

of operations management, using over 120 cases and illustrations of real-life operations
