Research

CCB’s areas of focus include applications of complex system methods, such as agent-based simulation, network theory, and nonlinear optimization techniques to analyze and solve problems that arise when large numbers of entities (consumers, employees, traders, firms, etc.) interact in ways that are too complex to be understood by more traditional management research tools. Such problems can be found in practically all areas of modern management, including marketing, information systems, operations and logistics, finance, and organization science.

The following are areas of research that CCB faculty are working on:
