Financial Engineering focuses upon the fundamental principles of corporate finance and investment science such as cash flow streams, arbitrage, risk aversion, pricing of firms and finance instruments, interest rate term structure, fixed income instruments duration, bond portfolio immunization, and the Markowitz mean-variance portfolio theory.
A Supply Chain consists of all of the entities and activities that enable the production, distribution, and delivery of products and services to consumers. Research in designing and managing supply chains has rapidly expanded during the last decade.
