As globalisation and international sourcing prevail, constructing an optimal combination of diverse suppliers has become of great importance for meeting measurable objectives, such as on-time delivery, cost efficiency and risk mitigation. This paper presents a method for solving a sealed-bid,...

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory,artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of fuzzy mathematical programming and possibilistic mathematical...

The components of earnings or cash flows have different implications for the assessment of the firm's value. We extend the research for value-relevant fundamentals to examine which financial performance measures convey more information to help investors evaluate the performance and value for...

A one-year-ahead price change forecasting model is proposed based on the fundamental analysis to examine the relationship between equity market value and financial performance measures. By including book value and six financial statement items in the valuation model, current firm value can be...

This study presents a framework for solving a sealed-bid, multi-issue, and multi-sourcing reverse auction problem in which negotiation takes place between the buyer and the suppliers during the bidding process. The problem is formulated as a bi-level distributed programming model in which the...
