OIT 280: Operations, Innovation, and Technology I
This course is the first part of a new two quarter course series (
OIT 280 &
OIT 281) that offers students a holistic perspective on the rapidly evolving and integrated world of operations, technology and innovation.
OIT 280 covers fundamental concepts and tools for excellent operations (like
OIT 262) and new content on (1) how processes, resources and technology come together in the real world, (2) business models, operating models and innovation therein, drawing on multiple disciplines. This course is for students who want to contribute and help co-design this new integrated approach to the future of teaching management education. Please note that this course is under construction and you will be expected to contribute to its development. In addition to MBA1 students, the course will also be open to a limited number of OIT PhD students from Operations, Information and Technology and graduate students from Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability with permission from Erica Plambeck. Class size is limited so students will experience close, frequent interaction among students and teaching faculty.
