Abstract

In many business programs, a single production and operations management (POM) course is included in the core curriculum to provide a brief overview for students who do not pursue the subject as a major. This article offers a simple two-dimensional, four-cell typology, well grounded in various POM sources, for facilitating instruction under the constraints and requirements of such a course. The typology can also serve non-POM faculty who might be asked to teach the course, as well as authors and instructors providing reviews of POM in management principles courses and texts.
