Learn from experts in game theory
Rafael Tenorio’s research in applied game theory focuses on auctions and bidding, where he has studied how bidders compete and adapt their behavior across different auction formats. He applied his findings to markets of foreign currencies, financial instruments, and online marketplaces. “My experience has shown me that strategy and decision-making skills matter across all the functional areas of business and society,” he said, “from finance to policy, marketing, and management.”
“KGSB offered me a challenging environment that broadened my strategic thinking while opening me up to new relationships and resources that I know will advance my career in the future.”
