Business Operations Management
This covers the study of "the methods, tasks and techniques firms use to produce goods & services. It concerns all the activities involved in planning and controlling the materials, people and machines to produce and deliver all the goods and services we consume. All operations are concerned with the transformation of input resources (i.e. labour, materials & machines) into output resources, i.e. goods and services."
