Final answer:

Finance/Accounting is not one of the 10 strategic operations management decisions usually listed in Business Management texts; operations management decisions are more focused on production and service delivery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that is NOT one of the 10 strategic operations management (OM) decisions listed in many Business Management texts is D) Finance/Accounting. The primary strategic OM decisions typically cover areas intrinsic to the production and delivery of goods and services, such as design of goods and services, managing quality, process and capacity design, location strategy, layout strategy, human resources and job design, supply chain management, inventory management, scheduling, and maintenance.

Finance/Accounting, while crucial to any business operation, is generally considered a separate area of decision-making, and not one of the core operations management areas. Operations management focuses specifically on the processes that produce and deliver goods and services.
