Course content (abstract): We will further develop and refine our intuition and knowledge of operations and supply chain management using interactive games. The games will generally involve team participation and competition, and are computer or internet based.

Recommended knowledge

As a prerequisite, students are expected to have basic knowledge of operations and logistics management, however games can be played quite competently using qualitative analysis (good quantitative analysis may further enhance performance).
