SUMMARY:DAO-ISEM-IORA Seminar Series - Daewon Sun
DESCRIPTION:Name of Speaker\nDaewon Sun\n\n\nSchedule\n23 August 2024\, 10am – 11.30am\n\n\nVenue \nBIZ1- 0305\n\n\nLink to Register \n \nhttps://nus-sg.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZckdu-tqzsiGdVFbEmxw3iRRCw-MKTKz2pe\n\n\nTitle\nCo-Developing Technology Products by Asymmetric Competitors\n\n\nAbstract\nTechnology products often have vital components owned or patented by different firms\, each of whom also seeks to compete in the end-user market. Consequently\, firms engage in a hybrid of collaboration and competition\, where one firm might provide a crucial component or capability to another that sells a competing end-market product. For instance\, Samsung sells smartphones and supplies organic light-emitting diode displays for Apple’s smartphones. The component buyer firm (i.e.\, firm A) may consider co-investing to improve the quality of a shared component (made by firm B). But how do firms gain strategic benefits in such arrangements? What factors govern their investment level? Who benefits\, and who loses? This paper addresses these questions. We find that $B$’s own investment is motivated more by increased partnership profit than by higher profit in the end-user market because competition limits the gains from a better product. Indeed\, when A has sufficient end-product superiority\, B exits the end-user market and becomes more aggressive in improving the quality of the shared capability. A strategic reason for A to co-invest in the shared capability is the desire for a higher performance level than that chosen by B (on its own) which self-throttles its own investment because it cannot fully monetize the gains in a competitive market. In doing so\, both A and B make higher-quality end-user products and earn higher profits. Still\, B gains more because it can extract part of A’s gains through an higher component unit price. Crucially\, firm A co-invests even though the investment prolongs firm B’s ability to maintain an end-user market presence in direct competition with A. Finally\, we demonstrate that B could limit its Stackelberg leadership power to further improve the joint investment in an asymmetric partner relationship\, which can yield a win-win outcome for both firms.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDaewon Sun is a professor in Department of IT\, Analytics\, and Operations at Mendoza College of Business\, University of Notre Dame. He holds a Ph.D. in Management Science and Information Systems from the Pennsylvania State University.

SUMMARY:Analytics for X 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Operations Research and Analytics (IORA)\, Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (College of Design and Engineering) and Department of Analytics and Operations (NUS Business School) of the National University of Singapore are proud to jointly host the Analytics for X 2024 conference in conjunction with the  Next-Gen Scholars Symposium on 28-29 August 2024. \nAnalytics for X is an Annual Conference hosted by IORA that brings together researchers\, educators\, consultants\, practitioners\, and students to contribute to the Fourth Industrial Revolution conversation. After a successful international event in 2023 in Chongqing\, China\, this year\, the conference is back in Singapore. As an annual event\, the conference aims to promote the regular enhancement and dissemination of knowledge related to operations research and analytics\, as well as efficient industrial practices. \nDuring this year’s event\, we are excited to announce the inaugural Next-Gen Scholars Symposium. This symposium\, exclusive to PhD students\, aims to recognize outstanding scholars in Analytics\, Operations Research (OR) and Operations Management (OM) who are nearing the completion of their PhD\, typically within a year or two. It is dedicated to honoring and accelerating the paths of outstanding young scholars who find themselves at a pivotal stage in their academic journey. The symposium will feature the groundbreaking research of these emerging scholars\, and offer them a platform to engage with and learn from the Analytics & OR/OM community\, as well as efficient industrial practices through networking opportunities.

SUMMARY:IORA Industry Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Operations Research and Analytics (IORA) is proud to host the inaugural IORA Industry Day 2024. This half-day event will highlight innovative applications of Operations Research and Data Analytics in addressing real-world industry challenges. \nThis year’s program will showcase six pioneering projects\, developed in partnership with research collaborators from the airline\, manufacturing\, charity/food\, and data center sectors. These projects address critical issues including the food distribution supply chain\, pricing engines\, human-AI collaboration\, pilot training\, and energy consumption optimization. \nWe are pleased to welcome guest speakers from Optimisation Analytics Technology\, who will present their innovative work with McDonald’s China. \nAdditionally\, the event will feature an engaging panel discussion with esteemed experts: Marc Dragon (Managing Director\, Reefknot Investments)\, Dr. Simon See (Senior Director\, NVIDIA Global Technology Centre)\, and Dr. Yang Nan (Senior Economist and Head of Economics and Decision Sciences at Amazon Japan). They will discuss future opportunities for Operations Research in solving industry problems. The session will be moderated by Prof. Jussi Keppo\, Research Director (Industry) at IORA. \nWe invite you to join us for this exciting event. Please register by 26th August 2024 (Mon) to reserve your seats.
