Operations - NYU Stern

Learn about the Operations Concentration

Operations is concerned with the production and delivery of both physical goods and services. Operations may be viewed as an organization’s way of aligning global corporate strategy with implementable day-to-day activities and actions. While it is critical to understand how to provide the right capital for the firm, how to promote demand, and how to manage human resources, it is equally important to master the knowledge of how to facilitate production and service delivery and ensure that the corresponding processes are aligned with the overall corporate strategy.

Additional Notes and Resources

A Stern elective course may satisfy only one concentration requirement. For example, Decision Models & Analytics can count toward as an advanced Operations Management elective OR as an advanced Computing & Data science elective, but it cannot satisfy both requirements.
Stern juniors and seniors can request enrollment access into an MBA (-GB) course by filling out the MBA Course Request Form. See the form for more information. If you have questions about how a graduate course can fulfill concentration requirements, please speak with your Stern academic adviser.
