Course Overview

In this course we will study the interactions between multiple players (decision makers). Such problems arise frequently in supply chain applications. The interaction of a firm with its competitors, customers and suppliers can be modeled as a game, and hence, our main tool of analysis in this course will be Game Theory. Course goals will be accomplished through lectures, homework and readings. Lectures will emphasize the theoretical aspects of the field, and homework will focus on problem solving skills. This course will be offered in English.

Learning Achievement

This course is designed to help students connect game theory with practices in issues of supply chains, industrial economics, or some related topics in decentralized systems, where individual entrepreneurs have their own profit functions and often are unwilling to reveal their own information to each other or the public.
