Robustness in Operations Research and Decision Aiding
Ects : 3
Enseignant responsable :
Volume horaire : 15
Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
In OR-DA, the term robust means a capacity for withstanding "vague approximations" and/or "zones of ignorance" in order to prevent undesirable impacts, notably the degradation of the properties that must be maintained. Consequently, robustness stems from a process that responds to a concern: a need for resistance or self-protection. Optimal solutions of classical models in OR may not have this capacity. The aim of this course is to introduce the basic robustness models.
Compétences à acquérir :
- Basic concepts and presentation of some examples.
- Study of classical criteria : min-max and min-max regret.
- Study of Bertsimas and Sim ’ s model.
- Study of the multilevel programming approach.

Uncertainties are ubiquitous in modeling real-world problems. Including uncertainty in an optimization model is now standard practice in industry, thanks to the development of both mathematical models and efficient software. In this course, we will discuss several classes of optimization problems that account for uncertainty in the problem data. The concepts of multistage problems, probabilistic constraints and risk measures will be used to derive the problem formulations of interest. We will also review algorithms that can be used to tackle stochastic programming problems, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective using recently developed packages.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
L ’ entreprise est devenue un vecteur puissant de transformation du monde, avec des effets positifs (pour trouver des solutions innovantes aux défis climatiques par exemple) ou négatifs (par les inégalités ou les dommages écologiques qu ’ elle peut créer). Faute d ’ avoir intégré cette capacité de transformation de l ’ entreprise, les théories classiques de l ’ entreprise et les schémas classiques de gouvernance de l ’ entreprise ont pu contribuer à amplifier les déséquilibres plutôt qu ’ à favoriser les effets positifs. Mais les avancées récentes de la recherche permettent aujourd ’ hui de proposer de nouvelles théories de l ’ entreprise, qui inspirent de nouveaux modèles de gouvernance et des réformes inédites en France et dans le monde. L ’ objectif du cours est de présenter une nouvelle approche de l ’ entreprise, fondée sur l ’ innovation. L ’ entreprise n ’ est réductible ni à une organisation commerciale, ni à une combinaison des facteurs de production que seraient le capital et le travail. Elle doit être reconnue comme un dispositif de création collective, qui vise à régénérer régulièrement et de façon coordonnée, les produits, les techniques, les métiers, les méthodes, etc. Cette approche permet 1) d ’ être plus cohérent avec les transformations historiques des organisations capitalistes, 2) de mieux comprendre les formes émergentes de gouvernance d ’ entreprise ; mais aussi 3) de fonder de nouveaux cadres de la responsabilité et par là même de caractériser les conditions d ’ une entreprise responsable, capable de concilier performance, innovation collective et intérêt collectif.
Le cours suit une progression en 4 parties :
1. Les enjeux contemporains de gouvernance
Puissance transformationnelle des entreprises dans le monde Explosion des nouvelles formes d ’ entreprise et des schémas de gouvernance
2. L ’ entreprise moderne : sources historiques et cadres théoriques
Principaux cadres théoriques de l ’ entreprise et leurs points aveugles ; Naissance de l ’ entreprise moderne et du management; dispositif de création collective
3. Relire les mutations de l ’ entreprise
Évolutions parallèles des doctrines de gouvernance (corporate governance) et de responsabilité de l ’ entreprise (RSE) et leurs limites Transformation de l ’ actionnariat et de l ’ écosystème de l ’ entreprise
4. Innovation responsable : formes alternatives d ’ entreprise et réformes en cours
Entreprises hybrides ; benefit corporations, entreprise à mission … Nouvelles approches de la responsabilité et nouveaux schémas d ’ entreprise
Compétences à acquérir :
- Principales théories de l ’ entreprise et éléments sur le développement historique de l ’ entreprise moderne ;
- Sensibilisation au droit des sociétés
- Introduction aux fondements et aux enjeux contemporains de gouvernance d ’ entreprise
- Repères sur la variété des formes d ’ entreprises et les mutations actuelles : formes classiques des sociétés, alternatives, formes hybrides …
- Modèle et pratiques de l ’ entreprise à mission
En savoir plus sur le cours :
Le cours suit une progression en 4 parties (voir le plan). Pour chacune d ’ elle, il est prévu une alternance de cours, d ’ atelier, de conférence et le cas échéant de discussion par les étudiants d ’ articles de référence. La participation au cours peut impliquer la lecture d ’ articles et la préparation d ’ exposé pour échanger au sein de la classe. Dans ce cas, la participation orale est prise dans compte dans l ’ évaluation. Dans tous les cas, un examen final est prévu. Il comporte deux volets : - un questionnaire sur les principales notions vues au cours de la semaine ; - la discussion d ’ un article portant sur l ’ entreprise, ses transformations et ses modes de gouvernement.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Cet enseignement vise à préparer les élèves à comprendre les changements qui affectent l'organisation des activités dans les entreprises et à les aider à conduire ces processus de changement. Le cours vise à préparer les élèves à : L'acquisition de concepts permettant de caractériser les formes actuelles d'organisation et de construire pour une situation donnée divers scénarios alternatifs. On utilise les travaux classiques (théorie des organisations, contingence structurelle, design organisationnel) qui proposent un ensemble de « variables de conception » et de configurations organisationnelles, tout en indiquant leurs limites dans l'appréhension des formes actuellement émergentes. Une initiation à l'analyse des fonctionnements réels et des évolutions observées, afin de mieux anticiper certaines difficultés et donc éviter quelques erreurs lors du choix du scénario qui sera mis en oeuvre. Peuvent être mobilisées à cette fin plusieurs grilles d'analyse (stratégie d'acteurs, mécanismes de gestion, dynamique des connaissances, dynamique des identités professionnelles). Enfin, une initiation à la conduite des processus de transformation, au cours desquels il s'agit de gérer les inévitables surprises et de caractériser les fonctionnements émergents. Pour éclairer et structurer ce processus d'exploration, on peut mobiliser la méthodologie de la recherche-intervention, ainsi que d'autres démarches allant dans le même sens (planification interactive, démarche socio-technique, apprentissage organisationnel). Ainsi, le processus de transformation peut être analysé et piloté comme un processus d'exploration et d'apprentissage.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
This research seminar is centred on themes linked to decision aiding that may vary from year to year. For instances, these themes may include:
- dealing with a practical decision aiding problem linked to an internship,
- theoretical or experimental comparison of various techniques or approaches,
- studying new decision aiding techniques, especially techniques dealing with multiple criteria,
- axiomatic and theoretical developments motivated by decision aiding problems or techniques,
- investigating general research questions, e.g., properly taking imprecision or uncertainty into account or the development and validation of elicitation techniques.
Themes are chosen each year depending on the wishes of students and the availability of internships. Students following this research seminar as a secondary choice are involved through the critical analysis or research articles, performing experiments, implementing techniques. They are also invited to suggest personal research topics. Students following this reasearch seminar are expected to play an active role. The central aim of the research seminar is to help students learn about doing research.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
The aim of this workshop is to give the students an idea of research issues at the boarder of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Theory. During the first half of the workshop, the teachers present different research topics, by giving some elements making it possible to understand the problematics. Lectures are also given about how to make a research talk or paper. During the second half, students who chose the workshop as a minor present their work on the subject they chose. Subjects vary from year to year, but the following list gives an idea of the usual topics:
- preference modelling
- preference learning
- preference aggregation
- computational social choice: voting, fair division
- algorithmic decision theory
- data mining and machine learning
- distributed decision making
- knowledge representation and reasoning
- algorithms for heuristic search, planning and game playing
Students who follow the workshop as a major will do their internship on a topic related to Artificial Intelligence and Decision Theory. They are expected to attend the same lectures as others and present the work they are doing as interns.
Compétences à acquérir :
- Have a broader knowledge of research issues at the boarder of Artificial Intelligence and Decision Theory.
- Being able to a make a bibliographic review about a research topic.
- Being able to make research presentations and write research papers.
Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
The evaluation is based on a memoir and a defense based on the work the student did during their internship.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
This research workshop focuses on complexity theory, exact and parameterized algorithms, approximation theory, dynamic optimization models and algorithmic games. Its connecting thread is the solution of discrete problems coming for several combinatorial optimization models by algorithms that guarantee several types of requirements (time, space, solution ’ s quality, etc.). All these themes lead to several proposals for Master dissertations.

Enseignant responsable :
- Michel NAKHLA
Volume horaire : 30
Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
Dans cet atelier sont étudiés les liens étroits qui existent entre modèles de gestion et dynamique des organisations. Considérant les outils et modèles de gestion comme le fruit de processus de construction et comme partie constitutive de la définition et de la dynamique des organisations, nous nous intéressons :
- aux processus de production de connaissances liés à la construction des instruments de gestion et d'aide à la décision au sein des organisations ;
- aux processus de création, de diffusion et d'adoption des outils et modèles considérés comme innovations managériales ;
- au double-rôle des outils et des modèles dans les organisations : moyen de pilotage et de coordination, vecteurs d'exploration et d'apprentissage.
Ces questions seront explorées à partir de situations de gestion et d ’ aide à la décision (gestion de projet, relations contractualisées de type clients-fournisseurs, planification des activités et planification stratégique, relations entre firmes, processus de conception et d'aide à la décision, etc.) et seront éclairées par différentes familles théoriques (théorie de la décision, sociologie cognitive, théories de l'apprentissage, théories des organisations, approches socio-économiques). Les séances seront structurées autour des sujets de mémoire choisis par les étudiants qui auront par ailleurs, un certain nombre de textes à étudier. Des interventions théoriques seront ponctuellement assurées par les responsables de l'atelier pour apporter les éléments fondamentaux nécessaires.

Les cours proposés sont des cours de 15h, à 3 ECTS. Outre les cours de tronc commun, les cours se répartissent en 3 listes pour chacune des 3 options. Dans chaque liste 2 cours sont identifiés comme obligatoires.
Au premier semestre, l’étudiant(e) devra suivre 10 cours répartis comme suit :
- 5 cours de tronc commun,
- 2 cours obligatoires propres à son option
- 2 cours optionnels choisis parmi la liste des cours de l'option
- 1 cours optionnel choisi parmi tous les cours proposés (y compris les cours obligatoires des autres options)
Au second semestre, l’étudiant(e) choisit un atelier de recherche principal parmi les ateliers de son option (20 ECTS). Il réalisera son stage et mémoire de master au sein de cet atelier. Il choisit également 2 ateliers de recherche parmi les autres ateliers, au sein desquels il réalisera un mémoire secondaire (2x5 ECTS).
Stages et projets tutorés
Le stage dure 5 mois, du mois d'avril à septembre. Il est réalisé dans un laboratoire universitaire ou en entreprise, et fait l'objet d'un rapport de stage et d'une soutenance orale.
Des programmes nourris par la recherche
Les formations sont construites au contact des programmes de recherche de niveau international de Dauphine, qui leur assure exigence et innovation.
La recherche est organisée autour de 6 disciplines toutes centrées sur les sciences des organisations et de la décision.
