Mustafa Karakul received his doctorate in Operations Management from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, in 2004. Mustafa studies the effects of coordinating pricing and procurement decisions on the overall profitability of the supply chains. The courses Mustafa teaches on Quantitative Methods, Operations Management, Operations Research, and Supply Chain Management benefit from not only his research but also his experience with organizations in Canada and Turkey.
