Abstract:
　

Past literature in supply chain management either focuses on scenarios where complete information is available or adopts a simplified two-layer setting when information asymmetry is introduced. When there are multiple sources of asymmetric information, a cascade of two-layer problems arises and it significantly complicates the contract design problem because the optimization outcomes of one layer may serve as inputs of the other layer. In this talk, we will investigate the impact of information asymmetry among contracting parties on the operational decisions (capacity allocation, demand forecasting, and compensation scheme design) in the multi-tier supply chains.

Biography:
　

Ying-Ju Chen joined the IEOR Department at UC Berkeley in July 2007 after completing his PhD in Operations Management in the IOMS Department, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University. He also holds master\'s and bachelor\'s degrees of Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University. His current research interests lie in supply chain contracts and coordination under information asymmetry.
