Meet Dr. Manpreet Hora: Assistant Professor of Operations Management

"Dr. Manpreet Hora provides an overview on his PhD seminar in the field of Operations at the Scheller College of Business. The strength of this seminar comes for offering several courses, that are logical and conceptual, that students undertake over their experience at Georgia Tech. This seminar focuses on empirical methods that are employed in operations by looking at real-time problems. Students develop hypothesis and framework around those problems, and looking at relevant data for ways to address those problems.
