MGT 7820 Operations Research


This course introduces the basic concepts of operations research and management science as they apply to the analysis of management related decision problems. The focus of this course is on those methods of decision analysis which have proven most useful in a variety of public and private sector contexts. The course utilizes statistical, quantitative, economical, and social elements in a diversified modeling approach, integrating elements of social welfare and real-world applications with relevant theory. This is evident throughout consideration to such topics as deterministic and stochastic mathematical modeling, and decision anyalysis under both conditions of certainty and uncertainty. This is reflected in such specific topics as linear, nonlinear, stochastic and integer programming, sensitivity analysis, inventory theory, game theory, decision theory and queuing theory.
