Boyer/Verma's breakthrough text meets today's student and instructor's
needs and redefines the marketplace. Their text is briefer than most,
taking all of the vital core concepts and building upon them with current
and fresh examples. The authors understand the importance of striking a
balance by creating a book that does an even better job at covering the
core concepts while also providing customers with a new product that
fully addresses and approaches this course area from today's teaching
and learning perspectives and actual business practices. The three
unifying themes throughout the book are Strategy, Global Supply Chain,
and Service Operations. Strategy will serve as an overarching
framework and will be used in each chapter to present students with an
alternative approach to specific challenges. The authors uses examples
from non-US companies and/or organizations in each chapter to
incorporate Service Operations in the book. They also show that even
some of the largest manufacturing companies today have extensive
service activities such as customer support and product development.
The Global Supply Chain theme will allow students to see how products
move through different companies and countries with Boyer/Verma's use
of real world examples throughout his text. In addition the robust Cnow
course allows instructors and students to go beyond the printed text to
get the most from this exciting operations management program.
