Supply Chain & Marketing Science

(Supply Chain Management and Marketing Sciences Department, Rutgers Business School)

 

26:799:660 Supply Chain Modeling & Algorithms
Fall 2009 and every second fall thereafter.
This course focuses on the application of management science techniques to model the newest emerging supply chain planning problems (such as reverse logistics, integrated production, inventory and distribution problems, multi-partner pricing analysis, supply chain distribution network design, location analysis and transportation capacity planning, etc.) to meet the changing needs of new generations of our Ph.D. students. The course also focuses on the processes of developing new search algorithms and error bound analysis to effectively solve such practical business decision and optimization problems. Academic researchers and selected industry executives will be invited to the classroom to present the pipeline research results and new challenges encountered in supply chain management practices.

26:799:661 Stochastic Methods in Supply Chain Management
Spring 2010 and every second spring thereafter.
This course covers economic models in supply chain management under uncertainty. We study key management concepts such as contract design, competition, information asymmetry.

26:799:670 Multivariate Analysis
Fall 2006 and every second spring thereafter.
Multivariate normal distributions, principal components, factor analysis, canonical correlation, discrimination and classification. Prerequisite: 26:960:577.

26:799:672 Advanced Multivariate Analysis
Spring 2007 and every second spring thereafter

26:799:675 Marketing Models

26:799:676 Consumer Behavior
The purpose of this seminar is to provide graduate students with a solid foundation for critical thinking and research in psychology, marketing and  related topics. Topics of discussion include consumer knowledge (learning, memory and categorization), attitude theory, persuasion, affect and social influence. The course draws from the literature in marketing, psychology and economics. The course will enable students to conceptualize, operationalize, and develop research ideas. Therefore, the focus is on understanding current theoretical and methodological approaches to various aspects of consumer behavior, as well as advancing this knowledge by developing testable hypotheses and theoretical perspectives that build on the current knowledge base.
