Operations and Technology Management (OTM) is a business management focus, traditionally in manufacturing industries, on operations research, total quality, facilities planning, and e-business strategies. Many strategies of OTM are similar to Industrial Engineering, an engineering degree with a more technical business background. Undergraduate and MBA programs are available from such schools as the UW-Madison School of Business, the London School of Business, the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and Cal Poly Pomona.
