The very hands-on attitude towards business and industry is what distinguishes the philosophy of Angel Díaz Matalobos, whether that’s applied to his teaching, writing or research.
It was his time spent working in industry and the private sector – including experience as a maintenance manager for a water supply system and a metro system, and consulting contracts in the oil, steel and aluminum industries – that gave Prof Díaz many of his insights into the implementation not only of Operations Management and Logistics but also of Information Technology.
And his views on operations management, logistics and information technology systems, have been aired in more than 40 publications – among them the International Journal of Logistics and the European Journal of Operations Research – as well as in his three books. But if Prof Díaz is a prolific writer, he also has extensive teaching experience, having taught in 18 countries.
