报告内容简介：Modeling is the key for solving a problem and generating understandings in business. The newsvendor model has become the building block of many studies in operations and supply chain management. In this series of lectures, we take the newsvendor model as an example to discuss the art and the science of modeling. More often than not, when operations management researchers attempt to study a new phenomenon, we set up models by applying the newsvendor logic—this model often serves as the experimental rat for operations management researchers.We will start with basic properties derived from newsvendor model using stochastic orders and stochastic functions, and present several important applications. In particular, we will discuss several application areas of problems in recent studies discuss why a certain way of applying newsvendor model is inappropriate and how one should think of the application context when formulating a problem applying the newsvendor model.
