报告内容： In almost all fields of economics, business and management, a fundamental question is whether to centralize or decentralize a firm and/or a supply chain. Conventional wisdom suggests that centralization or supply chain coordination is desirable because it can eliminate inefficiencies such as double marginalization. However, there has been a persistent research stream demonstrating the strategic benefits of firm and/or supply chain decentralization. For example, it has been found that supply chain decentralization is better when selling durable goods. For another example, a firm or supply chain may want to decentralize to strategically influence external players’ decisions. In this talk, I will first attempt to review some such research from Accounting, Marketing, and Operations which shows the strategic benefit of decentralization under various contexts. I will then present some of my recent research in this research stream. 报告人简介： Dr. Chunming Shi (施春明) is an Associate Professor (with tenure) and Ph.D. dissertation supervisor in the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.
