| Description | Purpose – This paper aims to stimulate student interest in, and engagement with the subject of Operations Management. Design/methodology/approach – Assess the approaches that Henry V took to address the Operational, Supply Chain and Purchasing Management issues that faced his medieval English Army as he prepared it for the invasion of France in 1415, through the innovative application of modern day academic theory. Findings – Henry V was a talented Operations Manager who evidently utilised what are now recognised academic theories within the subject field. Subsequently, by inadvertently using these theories he successfully led the English army to triumph at the Battle of Agincourt and to ultimately win the French throne. Research limitations/implications – This paper is focused on quite limited period in English history (1413 to 1415), consequently, it relies on student interest and engagement with this particular series of events. However, perhaps the further application of Operations Management theory to other significant worldwide historical events could provide operations management educationalists more scope for discussion and aid student engagement. Practical implications – To provide operations management educationalists with an innovative means to stimulate initial student interest in the issues surrounding Operations Management. Originality/value – This paper could be used as a ‘spring board’ by educationalists and students alike into the academic world of Operations Management. | - |
