Abstract
Procurement management is a field of management science and practice that actively develops, first of all, from the viewpoint of quantitative methods applicable in determining procurement strategies. Estimating the cost of goods and services, which has usually been considered as part of management problems to be solved in the fields in which these goods and services are produced, becomes a function of public administration, which spends taxpayers’ money to buy them within a limited budget. Based on the cost estimates, every public administration is interested in a) a high quality of the procured goods and services, and b) the lowest possible cost that can be paid for those selected for procurement. One of the effective ways to achieve these goals is associated with setting and running competition procedures, and acquainting course students with basic ideas and techniques of running such procedures taking into account reliable quantitative estimates of their expected results is one of the major parts of the present course. Another major part of the course is associated with analyzing approaches to finding partners in the private sector that every public administration may consider in financing large-scale projects requiring substantial investments. To succeed in this search, the public administration should be capable of engaging the private sector first in negotiations and then in cooperation, which is possible only if financial perspectives of this cooperation are made clear to potential investors and present interest to them. Achieving both goals requires quantitatively estimating these perspectives, and acquainting the course students with effective mathematical methods and techniques of this estimating is part of the present course.
Learning Objectives
- The major goals of the course “Quantitative methods in procurement management and public-private partnerships” are to acquaint interested students with a) principles and basic techniques of mathematically modeling procurement management problems and problems associated with forming public-private partnerships, b) ideas of quantitative methods for analyzing and solving these problems, and c) standard software packages implementing these ideas. As a result of studying the course, the students are expected to a) understand ideas underlying the most popular basic approaches to mathematically modeling major procurement management problems, b) be familiar with all basic types of mathematical models formalizing these problems, c) be familiar with basic techniques of developing the simplest models of all these types
- be able to quantitatively estimate the perspectives of forming public-private partnerships
- be able to develop negotiation strategies aimed at convincing potential investors and potential partners to contribute to solving particular management problems in the framework of public-private partnerships, and f) be able to find financial and legal conditions of forming public-private partnerships acceptable to all the potential (negotiating) partners. In addition to that, the students are expected to understand basic concepts and ideas of systems analysis, robust optimization, game theory, and mathematical statistics as major tools for mathematically modeling, quantitatively analyzing, and solving practical procurement management and public-private partnerships problems.
