Theme

The theme for the sixth workshop is extending the theme of DDM V on supply chain management (SCM) to "Financial Control". As last time, again contributions originated in stochastic multi-stage programming, hierarchical production planning, multi-agent systems, agency theory, contract theory, and auction theory are most welcome. In particular in addition to SCM the extended theme should encourage those working in modern management accounting and the management of financial intermediaries.
