Philosophy


In our increasingly complex economic environment, the amount of data involved in decision-making is constantly growing. Consequently, managers often need decision tools to optimize their choice within the boundaries of all operational constraints.

The Ph.D. Program concentration in Decision and Management Sciences is intended for scholars interested in academic or decision-making careers requiring advanced knowledge of complex tools in management sciences, and is appropriate for students whose academic interests are related to both quantitative and qualitative studies in management.

Courses are oriented for future managers or engineers willing to develop modeling abilities and expertise in the use of decision support tools, as well as researchers in the field of quantitative methods for management. Specializations at the dissertation stage are possible in Operations and Supply Chain Management, Technology and Innovation Management, Operations Research, Statistical Methods in Management, Decision Theory, and Risk Management.
Students can benefit from support from the Supply Chain Management Observatory, the Chair in Risk Management, the Chair in Innovation and Sourcing in Services, and the Chair in Managerial Decision.
