Operation company
In order to work in operations, MBA graduates normally take one of three pathways. They could be hired directly, but they could also be recruited through leadership rotating programmes or consulting/strategic roles. When it comes to direct hires into operations management positions, MBA graduates are frequently found in global strategy and operations, procurement, and supply chain management roles. Operations, global sourcing, strategic supply chain, operational improvement project, global commodity, and business operations analyst are examples of specific operations job titles.
Manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, technology, and consumer packaged goods are just a few industries looking for operations MBA graduates.
