We consider a retailer, facing uncertain supply and price-sensitive stochastic demand, who has to make stocking and pricing decisions for a given selling period. We also consider the case when the demand is price-sensitive deterministic and provide a unified framework for the model with additive...

The impact of bundling of products in a supply chain has not been studied in the operations management literature. Furthermore, the existing models on bundling have analysed the impact of bundling on the retailer's profits and ignored its impact on the supplier's operations. We consider an...

Combinatorial auctions allow allocation of bundles of items to the bidders who value them the most. The NP-hardness of the winner determination problem (WDP) has imposed serious computational challenges when designing efficient solution algorithms. This paper analytically studies the Lagrangian...

In a recent paper, Hoque (2011) developed two single-vendor multi-buyer models with synchronization by transferring the vendor′s lot with equal and/or unequal sized batches. He reported that his proposed models lead to significant cost reductions when compared to the existing related ones in...

We consider a non-repetitive manufacturing environment where the first stage will successively process different types of items that require different set up modes. Optimal sublot sizes are determined by studying the trade-off between the cost and time spent in restoration and rework. In...

The purpose of this paper is to explore corporate perspectives on the development and use of sustainability reports. Interviews with experts from 35 Canadian corporations were conducted. The research showed that the content of the reports was determined by following standards, conducting an...

There is a growing body of research on the theory and practice of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). However, relatively little research has been conducted on the extent to which corporations have integrated sustainability principles into the management of their supply chain and the...
