讲座内容简介： 

胡明教授的报告主题是社会运作管理，他将结合自己近年来的学术兴趣和研究方向，介绍以下几个方面的社会运作问题：

（1）经典的运作管理问题，例如，考虑消费者社会交往的多产品报童模型和可观测或不可观测的排队问题等；

（2）在团购、众筹、众包和网络产品销售的环境下，企业的定价和信息管理决策问题；

（3）决策者（如Newsvendor型企业和有竞争力的企业）之间的社交互动行为；

（4）讨论由新兴的共享经济引发的一般的动态匹配问题。

We study a range of operations and marketing problems from the perspective of social interactions. We revisit classic operations management problems, e.g., the multi-product newsvendor and observable/unobservable queues by taking into account social interactions among consumers. We also study a firm’s pricing and information management decisions in the context of group buying, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and sales of network goods. Lastly, we consider the social interactions among decision makers, such as newsvendors.
