Informatics - Describe at least three major operations management

Informatics

Describe at least three major operations management related themes (central ideas or gems) in the book from your perspective. Key word here is “major” themes, not just peripheral ideas such as role of communication or importance of team work etc.  Remember this is operations management (OM) class and your gems should revolve around concepts related to OM.

· Give rationale why you think the above identified gems/themes are important from your perspective. (use critical thinking to add some rigor to your rationale)

3. Write 2 pages on the application of the major ideas/themes/gems as identified in the discussion section above to your work place (any work place – past or present)? In your own words, how you could apply these major themes/gems to your current or any work-setting?   

4. Finally, evaluate the book (1/4th of a page) along the following lines:

· How practically useful are the ideas?

· Is the book well written and organized?

· Would you recommend it?
