The world is witnessing more supply‐base disruptions, where multiple suppliers of a buying firm simultaneously experience disturbed operations. Compared to single‐supplier disruptions, supply‐base disruptions create a more uncertain situation ...

• When dealing with complex supply‐base disruptions, we encourage managers to keep the bigger picture in mind (the overall supply base) rather than getting too caught up in the details (individual suppliers).
• Regarding the breadth and depth of ...

This paper examines how a firm’s choice of the type of experiment impacts on its potential exploitation of new technological opportunities. It does so in the context of the failure of successful firms (or disruption) where the literature has informally ...

Airlines are known to compete for passengers, and airline profitability heavily depends on the ability to estimate passenger demand, which in turn depends on flight schedules, fares, and the number of seats available at each fare, across all airlines. ...

We study the implications of endogenous pricing for learning and welfare in the classic herding model. When prices are determined exogenously, it is known that learning occurs if and only if signals are unbounded. By contrast, we show that learning can ...

This paper presents a multi-objective model for the closed-loop supply chain network design (CLSCND) with a price-dependent demand while considering random disruptions and shortage. This network consists of suppliers, production centers, collection/...

Traditional crafts and the Maker movement have in the last decade to some extent been evolving in parallel, with little intermingling. We held an experimental five day workshop with six experienced craftspeople - "traditional" glassblowers - while ...
