Sessions for Friday, April 20 Sessions for Friday, April 20 Friday, 09:15 AM - 10:45 AM Friday, 09:15 AM - 10:45 AM, Scottsdale (Floor 5) Track: Behavioral Operations 1 Session: Bounded Rationality and System Dynamics in OM Chair(s): Maximiliano Udenio 025-0918 Managing the Dynamics of Process Improvement: Production, Improvement, and Learning Brad Morrison, Assistant Professor, Brandeis International Business School, United States Using a system dynamics model of process improvement under constrained resources that must do both production and process improvement, simulation analysis highlights the tradeoff between production and improvement and demonstrates a tipping point that demarcates enduring high production levels. Results show that policies that favor learning lead to superior performance. 025-1320 Regulatory Systems and Loss Aversion in Newsvendor Model Xiang Zhang, Associate Professor, Beijing Institute Of Technology, China We propose a behavioral model to predict judgmental and decision making behavior by incorporating loss aversion and regulatory orientations in newsvendor framework. The proposed model shows that both the optimal order quantity and profit are substantially influenced by the bounded rationality and regulatory orientations. 025-1291 Cultural dimensions of agile supply chain management Diego Fogaça, Student, Universidade De Sao Paulo, Brazil Fernando Almada Santos, Assistant Professor, Universidade De Sao Paulo, Brazil Rafael Souza, Student, Universidade De Sao Paulo, Brazil Raul Toledo, Student, Universidade De Sao Paulo, Brazil Marcos Gandra, Student, Universidade De Sao Paulo, Brazil This paper investigates the relationships between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and agile supply chain management. These concepts have their main characteristics presented. The conclusions are that the agile supply chain management is related to the following cultural dimensions: low power distance, collectivism, low uncertainty avoidance, femininity and long term orientation. 025-0618 The Impact of Bounded Rationality on the Revenue Sharing Contract Decisions Ehsan Elahi, Assistant Professor, University Of Massachusetts Boston, United States Chinthana Ramaswamy, Student, University Of Massachusetts Boston, United States This research uses experimental approach to investigate the reasons behind the deviation of decision makers from choosing optimal values in the context of supply chain contracts. Specifically, we explore the role of bounded rationality on the order size placed by a retailer to its supplier in a revenue sharing contract. 025-1817 An analysis of the effect of response speed on the bullwhip effect using control theory Maximiliano Udenio, Student, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Netherlands Jan Fransoo, Professor, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands We use transfer functions to analyze the effect of inventory policies on non-stationary performance. We extend earlier research by explicitly modeling decision makers' reaction times and supply line weighing. We gather additional insights to our previous studies on the BWE and upstream demand evolution. Friday, 09:15 AM - 10:45 AM, Lincolnshire II (Floor 6) Track: Empirical Research in OM Empirical Research on Firm Performance 2 Session: Chair(s): Amrou Awaysheh 025-0020 The Relationship of Financial and Inventory Performance of Manufacturing Firms in Indian Context Jighyasu Gaur, Student, University Of Memphis, United States Sourabh Bhattacharya, Associate Professor, IMT, India We examine the relationship between the discrete components of inventory, namely, Raw material inventory, Work-in-progress inventory, and Finished goods inventory, and financial performance of Indian manufacturing firms. The results of our study indicate that Finished goods inventory is the most important decisive factor for Indian Manufacturing firms. 025-1256 Inventory Decisions and the Financial Performance of the Firm Ralf Seifert, Professor, IMD, EPFL, Switzerland Olov Isaksson, Student, EPFL, Switzerland We examine the financial consequences that inventory decisions have on firm performance. First, we investigate how controlling for endogeneity affects our results. Secondly, we explore the heterogeneity between the three inventory components - RM, WIP and FG. Thirdly, we examine the robustness of our results over a 29-year period. 025-0507 Empirical investigation of strategic agility and its impact on operational and firm performance Hojung Shin, Associate Professor, Korea University, Korea, Republic of (South Korea) Jae-Nam Lee, Associate Professor, Korea University, Korea, Republic of (South Korea) Hosun Rhim, Professor, Korea University, Korea, Republic of (South Korea) DaeSoo Kim, Professor, Korea University, Korea, Republic of (South Korea) This study empirically explores the relationships among strategic agility, operational performance (responsiveness), and firm performance (customer retention and financial performance) from the dynamic capabilities perspective. Using structural equation modeling, we perform confirmatory analyses to test the hypothesized associations in the structural models. We discuss findings, managerial implications and theoretical contribution. 025-1749 The Impact of Socially Responsible Practices on Firm Performance Friday, 09:15 AM - 10:45 AM Amrou Awaysheh, Assistant Professor, Instituto De Empresa, Spain This paper examines the relationship between the announcement of socially responsible practices (SRP) and the stock market response to these practices. Empirical results show that there is a significant positive return associated with the announcement of SRP, and a significant negative return associated with negative SRP. Friday, 09:15 AM - 10:45 AM, Ohio State (Floor 6) Track: Empirical Research in OM 3 Session: Empirical Research II Chair(s): Marly Carvalho Alvaro Gehlen de Leao 025-1282 Can Hot-Hand Prevail in Lottery Games?

  • Variational Principles in Models of Behavioral Sciences
    VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES IN MODELS OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES T. Q. BAO1, B. S. MORDUKHOVICH2 and A. SOUBEYRAN3 Abstract. This paper develops some mathematical models arising in behavioral sciences, particularly in psychology, which are formalized via general preferences with variable ordering structures. Our considerations are based on the recent “variational rationality approach” that unifies numerous theories in different branches of behavioral sciences by using, in particular, worthwhile change and stay dynamics and variational traps. In the mathematical framework of this approach, we derive a new variational principle, which can be viewed as an extension of the Ekeland variational principle to the case of set-valued mappings on quasimetric spaces with cone-valued ordering variable structures. Such a general setting is proved to be appropriate for broad applications to the functioning of goal systems in psychology, which are developed in the paper. In this way we give a certain answer to the following striking question: in the world, where all things change (preferences, motivations, resistances, etc.), where goal systems drive a lot of entwined course pursuits between means and ends—what can stay fixed for a while? The obtained mathematical results and new insights open the door to developing powerful models of adaptive behavior, which strongly depart from pure static general equilibrium models of the Walrasian type that are typical in economics. Mathematics Subject Classification: 49J53, 90C29, 93J99 Key words: variable ordering structures, multiobjective optimization, variable preferences, variational principles, variational rationality, stability and change dynamics, variational traps 1 Introduction and Motivations In this introductory section, we first describe the major features of some stability/stay and change dynamical models in behavioral sciences and the essence of the “variational rationality” approach to them.

  • Strategy Evolution and Resolution Deduction in Diplomacy
    957 2005 003 Strategy Evolution and Resolution Deduction in Diplomacy Berto Booijink Li Strategy Evolution and Resolution Deduction in Diplomacy Berto Booijink May 2005 Master's thesis Artificial Intelligence University of Groningen Supervisor: Dr. LC. Verbrugge RuG Referee: Prof. Dr. L.R.B. Schomaker Abstract A translation of this abstract in Dutch starts on the next page. Diplomacy is a strategic game for seven players. Each player represents a European empire in the early years of the twentieth century with which he tries to conquer Europe. The players have the disposal of armies and fleets (units) to achieve this goal. The game proceeds in rounds. Each round all players simultaneously reveal orders for their units. All orders together deter- mine which are actually carried out and which are not; orders may hinder or support other orders. Usually, Diplomacy players have the opportunity to negotiate with each other. This work focuses on a variant of Diplomacy, no-press, in which negotiation is not allowed. Game theory is a research area in artificial intelligence that investigates the interaction be- tween human beings. Party games provide an excellent domain for such research. Games with large search spaces are particularly interesting. Diplomacy surpasses even Go in this regard, so classic search algorithms do not stand a chance in Diplomacy. More intelligent techniques are required to fathom Diplomacy. This work aims at logic-based Diplomacy order processing and at evolutionary Diplomacy strategy forming. To this length the goal is to develop a logic-based resolution model and an evolutionary player model with the following specifications: the resolution model must determine the correct board state, resulting from any set of orders, within insignificantly small response times, compared to those of human players.

Marks Lectures: in HDR on Wed, Fri @ 11:00 Ext. 19271, Room AGSM 118 www.agsm.edu.au/bobm/teaching/SGTM.html [email protected] Reading/Reference List & Course Outline Game theory provides a simple, but rich, framework for analysing once-off and repeated interplay between people or firms, where the manner in which each reacts depends upon the other’sreaction: strategic interaction. These interactions occur in markets, in organisations, and in the household. This course—through lectures, experiential learning, and computer simulations—will attempt to provide students with understanding of many interactions they may encounter as managers, including price wars, wars of attrition, the value of cooperation interactions, and the value of information.

  • S&Op Execution
    White Paper S&OP EXECUTION: MAKING SUPPLY CHAIN PLANS WORK An E2open White Paper Contents 2 Executive Summary 3 Making the Plans Work with 2 The Best Laid Plans Collaborative Execution 3 Rapid Re-Planning, Not-So- 4 Executing a Plan: A Week in Rapid Execution the Life 9 Summary and Conclusion e2open.com White Paper: S&OP Execution Executive Summary Manufacturing business models have changed. Static, linear supply chains serving vertically integrated manufacturers have been replaced by dynamic trading networks supporting increasingly outsourced, global businesses. With this change has come increased volatility—in supplies, in customer demand, and even in product lines, as life cycles shorten and margin windows narrow. How can you plan in this chaotic environment? And, once plans are made, how can you most effectively implement them—plus respond intelligently when the playing field shifts? While the original sales and operations planning (S&OP) process is beyond the scope of this paper, this white paper will examine two different approaches to implementing those plans once they are formulated: the first is based on rapid re-planning in response to exceptions; and the second is grounded in collaborative execution by the extended network, including brand owners, contract manufacturers, suppliers, and other trading partners. While the traditional re-planning approach has a certain intellectual appeal, this paper will demonstrate that it is also a common source of additional cost, noise, and latency. Moreover, it may underutilize one of your most important assets: the knowledge and creativity of your supply chain team. Finally, re-planning approaches assume a stability of process that often does not exist in the real world.
