Why BBA Global Operations Management?
Operations management (OM) is the art and science of transforming ideas into actions. At the core of running a business in our competitive economy, cost efficiency and operational flexibility are necessary for survival and success. Extending to a global perspective, many companies operate complex supply chains, and we are increasingly reliant on technological innovations to manage the challenging process of sourcing and delivering goods across countries in a timely manner. Through the design of business processes and the efficient use of resources, which includes human capital, time, and money, OM helps organizations to create value for customers, maximize sustainable profits, and achieve operational excellence.

Cheung Chiu Keung, Leo (Intern in Hang Seng Bank) “You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.” – Michael Phelps I worked at Hang Seng Bank as Chief Administrative Office (CAO) intern under Operations, Services and Technology department. This 5-month internship experience broadens my horizons a lot. What I learned from Hang Seng Bank that can’t find in textbooks or lectures, so it is a valuable and unique opportunity for me. Although I had felt terrifying and challenging to the projects, luckily my colleagues assisted me with no doubt. I am so glad that this internship broadened my horizons. Internship program acts as a bridge to connect our career paths, no matter seeking your paths or adapting work pace. How much you gain depends on how much you pay, so my advice to all of you is not to question your abilities and push your limits. If you can dream it, you can do it! |

Lu Chun Yu, Jonathan (Intern in Deloitte) Greetings! I am Jonathan, one of the many GOM buddies and it is the third month since I have been an Audit intern with Deloitte under their 4-month Spring Internship Program. Life at Deloitte is thrilling. Working on a project basis, as opposed to a hierarchy structure, we get to meet new colleagues and new clients very often. It is not unusual that we have to face the CFOs and Directors by ourselves alone. As an intern, this has given me an invaluable opportunity to grasp in-depth knowledge and understanding of the different clients’ companies and the industries in which they operate. “How does Audit relate to your studies?”, you may ask. You may have heard this many times, but operations is everywhere, in our client’s businesses and even in Deloitte itself. The Audit work that we perform everyday requires us to thoroughly understand the way our clients do businesses so that we are able to detect risk of fraud or error and other anomalies. Deloitte, having a project based organizational structure with over 225,400 employees worldwide, also has a unique and efficient operations management practice that is very much worth learning. There is no doubt that the professional services industry is an intense and rapidly changing environment where you have to be versatile in order to excel. Fortitude is also essential to endure the long working hours. With that being said, this is a place where hard-work pays off and where you can take in and learn a lot like a pool for a sponge. |
