Operations Subject Group
About the Group
The Operations group studies the design and management of value-enhancing systems and processes that lead to improved decision-making in both tactical and strategic aspects of an organisation. Faculty members are involved in research projects addressing a wide spectrum of management challenges anddraw from economics, mathematics, statistics, strategy and operations research, as well as psychology and sociology. The subject group has two areas of specialisation:
- Management Science, which provides and exercises analytical tools for managers
- Operations Management, which concerns the management of operations in both manufacturing and service sectors
The research of the group falls broadly into the following categories:
- Behavioural operations (Christoph Loch)
- Healthcare operations (Houyuan Jiang, Stefan Scholtes)
- Innovation and new product development (Stelios Kavadias, Christoph Loch, Nektarios Oraiopoulos, Stefan Scholtes)
- Operations strategy and flexibility (Jane Davies, Christoph Loch)
- Service operations (Jane Davies, Matthias Holweg, Stefan Scholtes)
- Supply chain management (Benn Lawson, Matthias Holweg)
- Decision analysis, optimisation and risk (Houyuan Jiang, Daniel Ralph)
