MIT is holding a conference this weekend on Sports Business (unfortunately it is sold out) with a focus on Analytical Sports Management. This workshop is an interesting mix of sports insiders, economists, operations researchers, media executives and more, with a strong emphasis on those in the business. No talks directly on scheduling (my particular emphasis) but a cool looking conference nonetheless.
Why do you emphasize on “no talks directly on scheduling”? I feel scheduling is still a promising area that OR can contribute to the sport management directly. What do you think?
I emphasize that simply since that is my personal area of interest. I definitely think it is a promising area!
