Current Courses

Management Decision Models (BADM 374) Introduction to methods of operations research from an executive or managerial viewpoint, emphasizing formulation of business problems in quantitative terms; industrial applications of linear programming, dynamic programming, game theory, probability theory, queuing theory, and inventory theory.
Revenue Management (BADM 561) Focuses on how a firm should set and update pricing and product availability decisions across various selling channels in order to maximize its profitability. The adoption of revenue management systems has transformed the transportation and hospitality industries, and is increasingly important in retail, telecommunications, entertainment, financial services, health care and manufacturing. Through a combination of case studies, hands-on exercises and lectures, the course will review the main methodologies that are used in these industries and survey current and emerging practices.
Supply Chain Management (BADM 566) Focuses on how to manage flows of products and services from raw material sources to final customers and associate flows of information. Helps students to develop a system view of measuring channel performance, integrating cross-functional activities, and coordinating processes across organizations.
Topics in Operations & Finance (BADM 569) Current and classical literature in the area of Operations Management. The topics covered may vary from year to year and may include performance measures, inventory management, planning, scheduling, location, layout, product design, process design, and forecasting.
