This course provides a hands-on introduction to optimization in business analytics. The objective is learning model formulation, solving problems by programming or using modern solvers, and interpreting results to support decision-making.
The main topics covered in this course include linear and integer programming, network-flow models, multi-objective optimisation, and nonlinear otpimisation models. The course also briefly addresses the issue of uncertainty through stochastic optimisation and the use of heuristic methods. Throughout the course, the emphasis is on concrete examples, typical problem models, and solution implementation.
Thèmes couverts
Linear programming: formulation implementation duality
Network-flow models: structure algorithms applications
Integer programming: use of binary variables linearization solution techniques
Multi-objective optimisation: formulation and trade-offs
Nonlinear optimization: models descent techniques interpretation
Multiperiod models: structure uncertainty treatment decision trees
Heuristics and large-scale optimisation
The course covers the main concepts related to the optimization of logistics networks, namely demand forecasting, inventory management with deterministic and stochastic demand, supply chain management, revenue management, facility location and logistics network design.
The course aims to provide the student with theoretical and practical knowledge to optimize the design and management of logistics networks. For each of the topics covered, we focus on the quantitative analysis and modeling of the logistics problems encountered as well as on the identification of suitable solution techniques for the problems. Teaching will be in the form of lectures including discussions of articles, problem solving and utilizations of decision support tools. The primary pedagogical approach consists of describing the basic concepts, defining optimization problems, guiding students to develop an intuitive approach to solving small-scale problems, presenting models, algorithms and solution techniques/tools and, ultimately, enabling students to independently solve real-world business problems by utilizing computerized tools.

Ce cours a pour objectif d'étudier les techniques de l'organisation industrielle empirique utilisées par des agences antitrust et d'analyse de marché afin de trouver les prix qui maximisent les profits, d'analyser l'impact de l'introduction de nouveaux produits et des fusions de firmes.
Les firmes dans un marché oligopolistique peuvent exercer leur pouvoir de marché pour maximiser leurs profits. Ceci peut engendrer une réaction du gouvernement visant à protéger les consommateurs: soit pour s'assurer qu'ils ont suffisamment accès aux produits, soit pour limiter les prix qu'ils ont à payer. Cette réaction peut se présenter sous deux formes: une réglementation gouvernementale ou une supervision antitrust. Nous étudions ces deux réponses. Le cours a aussi pour objectif de familiariser les étudiants avec les techniques et outils de l'organisation industrielle empirique utilisés par les économistes dans des firmes d'analyses de marché afin de calculer des prix optimaux, d'analyser l'impact de l'introduction de nouveaux produits ou des fusionnements de firmes et d'examiner l'impact de la publicité sur la demande.

L'essentiel de notre vie se passe dans les organisations. Il convient donc de s'interroger sur les différentes formes que prennent les organisations. Ce cours offre une synthèse historique des formes organisationnelles, ainsi qu'une variété de perspectives pour aborder les enjeux propres à chaque forme.
Ce cours suscite une réflexion sur les enjeux qui caractérisent les organisations, puis outille les personnes étudiantes pour mieux comprendre les organisations et y intervenir. Plusieurs perspectives ont vu le jour pour étudier des organisations de plus en plus diversifiées et complexes, et chaque perspective met en évidence des enjeux distincts. Ce cours discute de l'évolution des formes organisationnelles, des enjeux que les organisations résolvent et créent, puis des apports et limites des différentes perspectives qui éclairent ces enjeux.

Organizational behavior science attempts to explain and predict the behavior of individuals and teams. This course covers scientific aspects as well as the management of people and organizational performance.
Current workplace challenges in organizations are making for increasingly complex individual and team management. There are a number of managerial trends and half-truths that can affect decision quality, manager credibility, and the health and effectiveness of individuals. This course covers the accumulated knowledge on the impacts that human behaviors, emotions, and attitudes in the workplace have on organizational systems, and vice versa. It is, therefore, essential to translate this knowledge into action and management skills if we are to meet the day-to-day challenges of management with a view to long-term sustainability.
Course Sustainability, Social Responsibility and Ethics Integration
The course focuses on social thematic associated with personality, diversity
Cognitive biases, decision making and routines/habits, emotion, mood, regulation, and emotional intelligence, stress, fatigue, exhaustion, motivation, commitment, trust, organizational justice, organizational culture, workplace climate and organizational changes.

This course examines advances in organizational and business ethics research. It presents ethics as a transversal notion essential for understanding challenges in all disciplines of business administration. Students gain a theoretical and practical perspective on ethical issues faced in various organizations, enhancing their critical thinking skills for future academic and professional endeavors.
The objective of this course is to familiarize participants with the multiple ethical "traditions" that combine or clash in today's complex, globalized, and postmodern world. The course also aims to train participants in various theories and approaches in research and pedagogy in the field. The notion of tradition, developed by Anthony Giddens, refers both to particular ways of approaching reality, whether economic, social, or environmental, and acting upon it through the use of specific models, approaches, or tools. The course aims to develop a critical understanding of ethical research theories and methodologies, while adopting a pluralistic perspective that values the contributions of each tradition, thus avoiding a moralizing approach.
This course explores fundamental ethical theories, such as deontology, virtue ethics, and consequentialism, but also integrates perspectives from political economy, psychology and sociology, among others. Special attention is given to contemporary ethical issues, particularly those related to the development and deployment of AI in organizations. This interdisciplinary approach enables doctoral students to develop a nuanced understanding of current ethical challenges facing organizations.
