In recent years, long wait times for healthcare services have become a challenge in most healthcare delivery systems in Canada.
Existing leadership theories tend to explain that leaders induce others to follow as a function of one or more of the following:
i) A specific set of traits possessed by the leader (e.g., charisma);
ii) Different types of behaviours the leader exhibits depending on the situation (e.g., a focus on tasks or a focus on relationships);
iii) Specifics relating to the structure and dynamics of the leader-follower relationship (e.g., economic, social, or psychological exchange, or a 'customized' focus on the 'follower').
The University wide competition starts with our department-level heat. We want Management Sciences to be well represented on the university stage!
The 3MT is a university-wide competition for research-based master’s thesis and doctoral students. Competitors will have 1 slide and 3 minutes to explain their research to a non-specialist audience.
This year we will be running our own department-level heat on February 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm in CPH 4335 with prizes and a winner moving on to the university-wide competition.

Consider a buyer participating in a repeated auction, such as those prevalent in display advertising. How would she test whether the auction is incentive compatible? To bid effectively, she is interested in whether the auction is single-shot incentive compatible—a pure second-price auction, with fixed reserve price, and also dynamically incentive compatible—her bids are not used to set future reserve prices. In this work we develop tests based on simple bid perturbations that a buyer can use to answer these questions, with a focus on dynamic incentive compatibility.

Accounting for the adverse impact of "non-average" events has become essential in many applications involving decision making under uncertainty. Its implementation through decision models, namely stochastic programs, requires careful measurement of risk that reflects one's concern about uncertain outcomes. Important theories such as convex risk measures outline conditions required for risk measurement but provide little guidance for cases not meeting the conditions. Unfortunately, such cases are more than common in real-life situations.
Production planning problems and its variants are widely studied in operations management and optimization literature. One variation that has not garnered much attention is the presence of multiple production families in a coordinated and capacitated lot-sizing setting. While its single-family counterpart has been the subject of many advances in formulations and solution techniques, the latest published research on multiple family problems was over 25 years ago (Erenguc and Mercan, 1990; Mercan and Erenguc, 1993).
