Topics in Operations & Finance
Section Info:
This course will meet in 343L Wohlers Hall. Operations management is the backbone of financial performance, and financial markets provide operations with opportunities of better valuation and risk management. The objective of this Ph.D. seminar is to broaden your knowledge in both operations and finance, and to study business problems using an integrated approach. In the first part of this course, we study the basic theory of production with financial hedging and speculation. The second part of the course focuses on a series of topics in operations management with the presence of financial markets. These include inventory management, valuing real options, commodity procurement and trading, global risk-management in manufacturing, etc. The last part of the course reviews the positive research (as opposed to normative research as in the first two parts) in explaining and modeling the inventory, capital investments and price dynamics as well as connections between Operations and Financial Performance.
