Study Operations
Management in Ecuador Operations Management is concerned with the creation of goods and services. It is often considered to be one of three primary business functions: operations, finance, and marketing. Finance is concerned with providing funds necessary for operation, and marketing is concerned with promoting and/or selling goods or services. The essence of "Operations Management" is to add value during transformation process (the difference between the cost of inputs and value and price of outputs).. In May 2009, consider studying Operations Management in Ecuador with Professor Jerz. This is a unique opportunity to complete a business course, travel to another country, experience the cultural differences in business and people, practice your Spanish, and develop special friendships. A proposed syllabus is available here. The trip will be limited to approximately six students. |

This is the second time that this
course is being offered in Ecuador. In our first visit,
students spent 25 days in Ecuador. During this trip, students
saw operations management principles applied to many organizations
and daily life, including:
Students also participated in a service project: helping a small town improve one of its trail systems. Operations, the way people and organizations operate were observed in every daily activity! |

| Operations Management students will be traveling with other SAU students studying Spanish and other topics. St. Ambrose University has been traveling to Ecuador for over 15 years, and this is a very well organized experience, and safe. | ||
