Global Operations Conference: 2016
"New Frontiers in Operations"
The Global Operations Conference (GOC) is an annual event organized by the Tauber Institute for Global Operations at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The main objective of the GOC is to bring together global leaders in industry and academia to share, debate and strategize to advance the worldwide practice of operations.
In this day and age, technology has passed its inflection point and is evolving at an exponential rate. As the application of technology permeates business practices, it empowers companies to redefine industry standards. The world of operations is changing rapidly and businesses are pushing the frontier of what was once thought possible.
We at the Tauber Institute for Global Operations are excited by these disruptive changes and the bright outlook they imply for the field of Operations Management. The relentless quest to push boundaries is what we will explore in our conference themed “New Frontiers in Operations.” Experts from a wide-range of industries will offer insights into how they use operations to propel their businesses to new heights and redefine the competitive landscape.
