Curriculum

Four tracks, one connected argument.

Each track builds toward the next — formal foundations feed the supply‑chain applications, which in turn motivate the experimental methods that test them.

Track 01

Game Theory Foundations

  • Games with continuous strategy sets
  • Static & dynamic games of incomplete information
  • Hidden knowledge & hidden action models
  • Signalling games & equilibrium finding
Track 02

Supply Chain Modelling

  • Basics of SC modelling
  • Modelling heterogeneity in supply chains
  • Supplier encroachment dynamics
  • Signalling games in SC contracts
Track 03

Laboratory Experiments

  • Design of experiments
  • Conducting experiments in operations
  • Competitive newsvendor experiment
  • Building experiments from scratch
Track 04

Field Experiments & Analytics

  • Field experiment design & DID approach
  • Difference‑in‑Differences analysis
  • Behavioural theories in decision making
  • Econometrics for OM experiments
