COURSE CURRICULUM

The Operations and Information Systems Management specialization in the MSc in Management program at Brock University equips students with the research skills and analytical tools necessary to address complex problems in operations, logistics, and information systems. The curriculum begins with two core research methodology courses, MSCM 5P01 and MSCM 5P02, which lay the foundation for rigorous academic inquiry. Students also take MSCM 5P71 (Operations Research Modeling), which introduces advanced modeling techniques for decision-making, and MSCM 5P72 (Seminar in Operations and Information Systems Management), which provides an in-depth exploration of current research and trends in the field. To tailor their expertise, students choose two electives from a selection that includes MSCM 5P73 (Logistics and Supply Chain Management), MSCM 5P74 (Data Mining Techniques and Applications), MSCM 5P75 (Topics in Information Systems Research), MSCM 5P76 (Mathematical Programming), MSCM 5P77 (Simulation of Business Systems), and MSCM 5P78 (Forecasting Systems for Management). These courses allow students to explore topics such as analytics, system optimization, and technology-enabled decision-making. The program emphasizes the integration of operations and information systems knowledge in real-world business contexts and prepares students for academic research or careers in consulting, analytics, or operations management in a wide range of industries.
