Course description
Technology is all around us, affecting many aspects of life, changing the way
organisations manage their operations. As such, operations managers should be able to
incorporate elements of technology into the process of sustainable value creation within
the increasingly integrated and globally connected supply chain, allowing organisations
to collaborate and achieve their sustainable competitive advantage. This course is
designed to help students understand and respond to challenges in managing operations
alongside technology in the era of digital economy. It also helps students develop their
managerial capability and triggers critical thinking on how to effectively and efficiently run
their technology-driven operations. In particular, this course emphasises the essence of
information technology (IT) as one of the main driving forces of operations management
(OM) today. It also discusses lessons learned from real cases addressing the
interactions between IT and OM in various organisational environments.
This course adopts learning-focussed teaching with flipped classroom approach.

Learning-focussed teaching means that students’ learning process is paramount and
developed through open discussion and critical thinking rather than one-way lecture. In
the flipped classroom environment, students are expected to prepare themselves prior
to the class discussion. Whilst selected topics and readings are offered to trigger the
class discussions, students are welcome to bring and discuss their own materials beyond
what has been suggested in this syllabus. This way, students are responsible for their
own learning. They are the centre of knowledge that is (re)constructed together with the
lecturer acting as a pure facilitator.

In this course, students are expected to meet the following general learning goals:
1. Students demonstrate the ability to communicate in an effective, persuasive, and
