Operations Management/Management
Science
MBA Concentration
Since its inception, Operations
Management/Management Science (OM/MS) has contributed billions of
dollars in benefits and savings to corporations, government, and the
nonprofit sector. OM/MS is used and represented in almost all
industries such as hi-tech, chemical, auto, airlines, health care,
law enforcement, the military, the stock market, and
telecommunications. With the global nature of business where
competition involves working cohesively with diverse and dispersed
partners, OM/MS offers the crucial techniques and strategies for
logistical and operational synchronization.
Specifically, OM/MS courses here at Rutgers University, School of
Business-Camden (SBC) help the students develop their skills in
quantitative and analytical thinking. Functionally, they help
students in the general areas of Operations, Logistics, Supply Chain
Management, Quality Management, Managing Global Operations, Service
Operations and Project Management. Most employers nowadays are
specifically looking for employees, regardless of their discipline,
who have superior analytical skills and an ability to make good
"data-driven" decisions. In fact, one of "hottest" job growth area
is in the area of Operations:
Please see -http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/03/pf/hotjobs/index.htm
"General Operations Managers" is ranked number 6 among this list of
most rapidly growing job areas. It is also pertinent to note this OM
field is, among all the business fields, the first in this list.
To respond to this growing demand for skilled managers in the area
of Operations, starting May 2007, the SBC is now offering a brand
new concentration in Operations Management/Management Science.
To obtain the MBA concentration in Operations Management/Management
Science, students must take the required Operations Management
course (53:620:513) and at least 3 of the following elective
courses:
53:620:504. MANAGEMENT SCIENCE (3)
53:620:516. QUALITY MANAGEMENT (3)
53:620:519. SERVICE OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT (3)
53:620:523. GLOBAL OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT (3)
53:620:531. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (3)
53:620:670. SPECIAL TOPICS IN OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT (3)
Students may also be allowed to take at most one appropriate MBA
elective course from other areas not included in the list above with
written approval of the Management Science/Operations Management
faculty.
In summary, the MBA concentration in Operations
Management/Management Science will help students to learn
techniques, tools and decision-making methodologies that will enable
them in (a) securing better and improved job prospects, and (b)
superior on-the-job performance.
