In addition to lectures, guest speakers and field trips to local companies, an integral part of the course involves small-group learning. By examining real and hypothetical cases of bringing an idea from an academic research setting, to development and production in a company, through the government's regulatory apparatus, and finally to the consumer in the marketplace, students gain a fully integrated picture of the diverse processes that comprise this new industrial revolution. The potential long-range medical, economic, legal and ethical implications of applying this science are examined.

Prerequisite(s): OM 280 or GB 301 Service operations constitute a major, growing segment of the U.S. economy. Although many of the concepts developed for manufacturing firms can be applied to service firms, the unique characteristics of services suggest that these concepts are not directly transferable. Through text assignments, readings and case discussions, the differences between services and manufacturing are identified in areas such as process design, facility layout, job design, site location and quality control. A major portion of the course involves a group project on the design, analysis and implementation of a new type of service.
