Course Description

As goods and services are produced and distributed, they move through a set of interrelated operations or processes. The design of these operations for strategic advantage, investments in improving their efficacy, and controlling these operations to meet performance objectives is the domain of Operations Management. Taking the process view of the organization we will examine, using case studies, readings and models, a variety of industrial applications. In the first part of this course, by studying how the manager can improve the efficacy of processes, we will develop a unifying theme to the subject. In the second part of this course, the focus will be on inventory theory and its application to supply chain management. In contrast to the first part of this course that developed a broad brush approach to the process view of operations, we will take a more analytical and detailed approach in model development in the second part of this course.

Course Description

This course examines the history and practice of electronic music from the early twentieth century to the present. It will explore a wide range of genres—from experimental forms like musique concrète and drone composition to popular traditions like rock and various forms of electronic dance music (EDM)—as well as the evolution of instruments, techniques, and lines of influence. Through the course students will develop a broad perspective of the history of the field and an understanding of musical techniques that will meaningfully inform their own listening and creative practices. The primary goal of the course is to establish an understanding of the development of electronic music, including prominent composers, musicians, technologies, instruments, aesthetic ideas, and genres. A secondary goal is linked to the methods and organization of the course as they set out these points of orientation. The course will introduce a wide and representative sampling of different sources for the study of electronic music: in addition to recordings of musical works and performances, these sources include artists’ statements, historical surveys, documentary film, science fiction, specialized musicological study, music criticism, writings on aesthetics and the philosophy of art, and virtual software for modeling analogue synthesis.
