讲座（1）
题 目：Information Sharing in Competing Supply Chains with Cost Reduction
报告人：Prof. Albert Ha， School of Business，Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
时 间：6月20日（周五）上午8:50-9:40
地 点：行政楼128会议室
报告摘要：
In this talk, we discuss the issue of information sharing in supply chain management and present several mathematical models that have been developed to investigate the incentive for a retailer to share private demand information with a manufacturer. We consider several drivers such as contract form, types of competition, competition intensity, information accuracy and production cost that influence the incentive for information sharing.

题 目：Optimal Price Trajectory and Inventory Allocation for Inventory Dependent Demands
报告人：Prof. Naren Agrawal, Santa Clara University
时 间：6月20日（周五）上午10:00-10:50
地 点：行政楼128会议室
报告摘要：
Optimal pricing and markdown optimization continue to be significant challenges for retail chains. Past research and empirical studies have established that if designed carefully, these strategies can lead to considerable improvement in profit margins. In our work, we find that when combined with optimal inventory allocation policies, the results can be even more compelling. This is particularly true for short life-cycle, fashion goods. Allocating inventory to more stores helps capture a greater proportion of possible customer demand. However, demand for such products is often inventory dependent because larger inventories can create more attractive displays while low inventory levels can create broken assortments. Thus, there may be benefits resulting from inventory consolidation in a smaller number of stores. Moreover, there are also fixed costs associated with including an item in the assortment carried at a store. Our research jointly optimizes the shape of the optimal price trajectory and the optimal allocation of inventory across a set of non-identical stores with inventory dependent demand.

讲座（3）
题 目：The Supply Chain Finance Role of 3PL's Procurement Service
报告人：Dr. Xiangfeng Chen, Associate Professor, Fudan University
时 间：6月20日（周五）上午10:50-11:40
地 点：行政楼128会议室
报告摘要：
In this paper, we consider a manufacturer, a retailer, and a 3PL firm under a newsvendor framework. Our analysis indicates that there exists a Pareto zone where all firms benefit from the procurement service compared with the traditional pure logistics service. It is more likely for the procurement service to occur if the opportunity cost of capital is higher for the retailer than for the manufacturer. Furthermore, the Pareto zone enlarges as the number of retailers grows. Thus, the integrated procurement and logistics service is in effect a supply chain finance instrument for small and medium sized retailers, which is especially important in emerging economies where access to bank loans by these firms is extremely limited.
