Teaching operations management is not to instill bland theoretical frameworks to the students' mind; rather, it is to enlighten the students with managerial insights which can facilitate them to make real-life decisions. Bringing relevant industry practice to classrooms can be a good teaching strategy, since which not only efficiently conveys the frameworks but also delivers the most solid insights.
