It should be a part of board room discussions and integral in a company's business model and strategic management.  After much research and think tank consulting, authors Martin Christopher and Alan Braithwaite believe that business strategies hardly recognize operations management.  They maintain that operations need to be seen as more strategic and have highlighted the core fundamentals that business leaders need to be guided by in Business Operations Models.  Illustrated by emotive visualization and international case studies, this book offers new thinking in logistics, supply chain management, and operations management"-- 0aStrategic planning 0aProduction management 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Production & Operations Management 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Management 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Strategic Planning1 aChristopher, Martin
