Minor "Operations Research"
Master's programme: Business Administration
Language: English
Credits: 20 ECTS
The Minor "Operations Research" focuses on quantitative models for solving decision problems arising in economic and business applications such as production planning, scheduling, logistics, network design, resolution of conflicting goals and group decisions, fairness, equity and efficiency, also under limited information (uncertainty).
In particular, the following topics are discussed:
- Discrete and Continuous Optimization
- Game Theory
- Networks and Graphs
- Data Uncertainty
In the courses we develop mathematical models for the considered problems, analyze them thoroughly and introduce algorithmic methods to find feasible and optimal solutions.
