报告摘要：
1、报告题目：On the Values of Quick Response and Inventory Carryover for Dynamic Supplier Contracts
内容摘要：We investigate contracting issues under Quick Response in a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The manufacturer sells her seasonal product to the retailer over two periods. In the first period, which is before the selling season, none of the firms know the demand information. The retailer might want to order in this period based on the expected demand due to the low production cost associated with the regular production mode at the manufacturer. During the selling season, the retailer can update his demand information. The manufacturer may still produce and supplement the retailer’s stock, but due to the short duration of this period, only Quick Response can work and the production cost has to be much higher. We show that the adaption of Quick Response may hurt the manufacturer due to the high information rent the retailer asks for. We also consider the case that the manufacturer can carry over inventory from the first period to the second period. Interestingly, our analysis shows that carrying inventory also hurts the manufacturer.
2、报告题目：Emerging Research Initiatives and Topics on Supply Chain Management
内容摘要：We review the recent research initiatives and topics in the domain of supply chain management and propose potential research directions. The discussion focuses on the research topic/outlet selection and research project management.
