A Parametric Analysis of a Constrained Nonlinear Inventory-production Model

Gautier, Antoine; Granot, Frieda - In: Management Science 40 (1994) 11, pp. 1500-1513

We discuss in this paper some inventory-production models which can be formulated as nonlinear parametric network flow problems with one additional linear constraint. Several sensitivity analysis questions are addressed. The qualitative sensitivity results obtained provide the manager with...

A Min-Max-Max-Min Approach to Solving a Stochastic Programming Problem with Simple Recourse

White, D. J. - In: Management Science 38 (1992) 4, pp. 540-554

This paper studies a problem of determining the level of certain decisions, taken prior to certain events taking place, and the subsequent additional resource procurement decisions needed to implement the initial program once these events have materialised. The problem is formulated first of all...

Managerial Regret and Inventory Pricing

Li, Meng; Liu, Yan - 2021

In this paper, we study a regretful seller’s problem of selling a fixed number of goods over a finite and known time horizon. The seller engages in counterfactual thinking to compare her selected price with other forgone alternatives. If a forgone alternative (ex post) generates a better...

Supplier Encroachment under Asymmetric Information

Li, Zhuoxin - 2014

Prior literature has shown that, for a symmetric information setting, supplier encroachment into a reseller's market can mitigate double marginalization and benefit both the supplier and the reseller. This paper extends the investigation of supplier encroachment to the environment where the...
