The authors (management experts teaching in British Universities) argue that successful operations management depends on developing strategies which combine manufacturing and service expertise to provide a comprehensive customer offering. This means that strategic relations must be established with many other players; operations management is no longer a company-specific matter. Emphasizing strategy, services, innovation, and the management of relationships both internal and external to the company, chapters are structured according to past, present, and future scenarios illustrating how these elements affect business.
