Connectprovides a digital learning environent that can save instructors time and provide adaptive, personalised resources to help boost student grades. Your one stop shop for all course content, available with all Education titles.

SmartBook is an adaptive learning tool integrated within Connect that created a personalised learning path based on a student's single strengths and weaknesses. It identifies gaps in knowledge and focuses on areas needing reinforcement, helping students to study smarter, instead of harder. SmartBook's insightful report features highlight student progress or topic areas that need more work, assisting instructors in shaping their teaching strategies

Assignable and gradable end-of-chapter content helps students learn to apply Operations Management concepts and analyse their work in order to form key business decisions. Algorithmic questions allow students to practice problems as many times as they need, to ensure that they fully understand each problem.

Examples are narrated and animated, with step-by-step walkthroughs of algorithmic versions of assigned exercises. These examples allow students to identify, review or reinforce the concepts and activities covered in classes. Availble on most Operations Management titles and providing immediate feedback provided, students can focus on the areas where they need the most guidance.

Featuring on-location video scenarios with real companies and their actual manufacturing processes. Operations Management On-Location Video Series brings topics of crucial operations management to life. All videos are matched to chapters topics within the text and are available within Connect.

Concept overview videos are assignable videos that correspond questions with crucial chapter topics. By reinforcing core learning goals, each video includes auto-graded concept-check questions that bring online courses to life. The videos are created by instructors, and are therefore unique, helping the student feel as though they are in the classroom, even if they are not.

Connect resources include a comprehensive test bank of various question types, which allow the instructor to create auto-graded assessment material with multiple problem types, algorithmic variation, and randomised question order.

The 3D, interactive, game-based simulation allows students to manage the operations of a clothing manufacturing and distribution company. Practice Operations brings operations management to life. Enforcing key concepts while promoting critical thinking and strategic decision making, student will easily engage with this activity.

The game is set up in a number of focused modules that deal with the issues of production process, capacity, supply chain, JIT, labor management, order fulfillment, customer satisfaction, and quality control. Give the game a try with the demo video here.

The highlight of the course for me was the balance of theory that we learnt and being taught how that theory can be applied in the real world. Modules such as Management Consulting allowed us to use what we had learnt and we then had the opportunity to apply it to a real business challenge. So once you have learnt the theory, you have the opportunity to test and apply it.

Having studied an exercise science degree, I'd never touched on economics, accounting and finance, strategic management, people management etc.In that sense, the course gave me exactly what I wanted, which was literacy and competence across the key areas of business, broad enough to prepare me for whatever career I chose to pursue, yet focused enough to go beyond the superficial and explore subjects in meaningful, interesting detail.

After graduation, I joined UBS's Group Internal Consulting team in Zurich. In this role, I drive and support key change initiatives for the firm's business divisions. This is very intellectually stimulating and a great opportunity to work on different projects across the bank.

I choose the Management MSc at Cranfield because it's designed for early management professionals with 2-3 years of work experience, has close links to the industry, and has a well-known legacy of delivering taught modules in a practical manner. Also, since it is an exclusive post-graduation university with an internationally diverse cohort and small class sizes, the impact of teaching is extremely profound.

My Cranfield degree was a perfect bridge for me to move from where I was, to where I am currently/where I will be in near future. It has transformed me as a person since I am more self-aware of my soft skills and hard skills, strengths, and weaknesses.

An external advisory panel informs the design and development of the course, and comprises senior management practitioners, reinforcing its relevance to the modern business world. Many of our faculty have held senior positions in industry and continue to engage with industry through consultancy and teaching. They are also supported by a team of international visiting industry speakers and professors who bring the latest thinking and best practice into the classroom.

You will benefit from our close links with business through international case studies, a management consultancy simulation, visiting speakers providing an overview of the challenges they are facing and through the three-month internship project in the final term.
