I recently saw an online discussion about the bullwhip effect where students were discussing their experience in management school with simulators.
I was curious about investigating more, but I realized that unlike topics like mathematics and computer science, I was having a lot of trouble even finding the search terms to use to find textbooks and syllabi, as I didn't even really know what they teach in management school. Could anyone help me find a course of self study on management school? Knowledge of what they teach, or what different specializations train you in would be helpful as well, thank you!
I think Lokad's supply chain lectures are an excellent source. They are all available on YouTube.
MIT offers a MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management through the edX platform. I haven't taken any of those courses, but maybe you can find something interesting in the syllabus. They are free and you can have the option of earning a certificate for a small fee if you complete all the requierements. This program can be half of the on-campus Supply Chain Management master's program.
Maybe someone that has taken this program can comment and tell us if it is worth it?
For another discussion about the bullwhip effect, check this discussion with Prof. Stephen Disney (University of Exeter):

More generally, I am trying to consolidate a whole series of lectures about SCM that you can see at:
