For this assignment, select three operations management theories to evaluate, compare, and apply to business, and then create a PowerPoint presentation that presents your findings. Remember, as a scholar-practitioner, you are required to examine theories and research and relate them back to practice within a business setting.

For each chosen operations management theory, complete the following:

Provide an overview, including the main characteristics of the theory.

Discuss the origins of the theory, including the seminal theorist, his or her research used to create the theory, and the year the theory was developed.

Discuss how the theory has evolved over time. Who has built on that theory, and what were their additions or modifications to the theory? You can use a timeline graphic in the presentation for this section if you choose.

Compare your three theories to one another. Analyze the similarities and differences between the three chosen theories. You can include a chart or matrix graphic in the presentation for this section if you choose.

Evaluate each theory in regard to practical use in business. Provide examples of how each operations management theory could be effectively used as an effective operations management practice in an organization.

Record a video in which you evaluate which operations management theory you would most likely apply if you were an operations manager in a business, and support your decision with research. Ensure that video is embedded into your presentation.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 12 Slides (with a separate reference slide), with a minimum of 100 - 150 words in the Notes area for each slide expanding on the outline information provided on the slide

References: Include a minimum of five scholarly resources.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
