We consider a decentralized, two-echelon supply chain where the upper echelon --the supplier-- bears the inventory risk. To service the retailers, the supplier either keeps inventory reserved for each of her customers or else pools inventory to share among her customers. The common insight...

Recently, Branzei, Dimitrov, and Tijs (2003) introduced cooperative interval-valued games. Among other insights, the notion of an interval core has been coined and proposed as a solution concept for interval-valued games. In this paper we will present a general mathematical programming algorithm...

We characterize convex vNM-Stable Sets according to von Neumann and Morgenstern for orthogonal linear production games with a continuum of players.The results of Rosenmüller & Shitovitz [International journal of game theory 29 (2000), pp. 39-61] are thereby substantially improved....

Supply Chains mit hohen Absatzrisiken sind gekennzeichnet durch kurze Verkaufszyklen, einen hohen Anteil an Impulsk?ufen, eine schwer prognostizierbare Nachfrage, eine hohe zeitliche und r?umliche Verf?gbarkeit der Produkte, lange Durchlaufzeiten und eine hohe Variantenanzahl. Insbesondere...

This thesis investigates the application and implications of supply chain management as a modern management model in regulating corporate outsourcing activities within the Greater Pearl River Delta. Globalisation has accelerated the application of supply chain management as a mechanism to...

The digital revolution on the web/internet is believed to be having a major impact on the performance of firms’ purchasing and supply functions. Beyond anecdotal evidence however, little is known about the actual level of utilisation of web-based interaction technologies in purchasing and...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model that includes drivers of supply chain management (SCM) adoption and execution identified in the literature, provide a set of measurement scales that operationalise constructs within this model, empirically verify a hierarchical...

Radiofrequenz-Identifikation (RFID) ermöglicht eine automatische Erfassung von verschiedenen Objekten ohne Sichtkontakt und verspricht durch diese Eigenschaften eine maßgebliche Verbesserung der Effizienz in Wertschöpfungsketten. Die Verbreitung der RFID-Technologie hat in den letzten Jahren...

Diese Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen der Radiofrequenzidentifikation (RFID) auf das Lieferkettenmanagement. Wir entwickeln mehrere ökonomische Modelle zur quantitativen Evaluation der RFID-Technologie und den strategischen Implikationen ihres unternehmensübergreifenden...
