Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful implementation of business strategy requires proper integration of operations and financial management. This dissertation is aimed at applying optimization techniques to solve real-life problems that are at the interface of operations and working capital management. The first essay focuses on different outsourcing arrangements for back-office operations between a financial services firm and an outsourcing vendor. To meet dynamic and stochastic demand requirements, the financial services firm complements in-house operations with outsourcing. The second essay analyzes inventory and advertising policies of a start-up firm. Risk exposure is a critical aspect in start-up operations. It is imperative for the management to have a perception of the risks involved in any decision they plan to implement. We develop a heuristic that provides us a mechanism to construct efficient risk-reward curves in a stochastic dynamic setting. Important managerial insights are deduced based on the risk-reward for a set of policies. The third essay explores the emerging field of Supply Chain Finance (SCF). The physical side of supply chains has been a subject of much research. However, when it comes to their trade operations, the goals of the buyer and their suppliers, in many cases, are not aligned. This leads to suboptimal decisions for the supply chain as a whole. Recently financial intermediaries have come up with innovative trade solutions that are providing financial win-wins for all the supply chain partners. Here we examine the payables management problem of a buying firm in a supply chain scenario with SCF enabled Early Payment Program in place. Finally, the fourth essay studies risk-reward trade-offs in finite-horizon stochastic dynamic programming models. The objective in these models is to deduce optimal policies based on expected reward criteria. However, in many cases, managers are concerned about the risks or the variability associated with a set of policies and not just the expected reward. Here we develop heuristics that systematically track the variance and the average reward for a set of policies in a stochastic dynamic setting, and instead of identifying one policy to achieve the stated objective, finds the set of policies that form the efficient frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La gestión y mitigación eficaz de riesgos diversos son actividades fundamentales de todas las organizaciones. En el pasado, académicos y profesionales han examinado la gestión de riesgos desde las perspectivas de sus propias disciplinas académicas y departamentos organizacionales. Sin embargo, está cada vez más claro que las consideraciones financieras pueden tener impactos significativos en las decisiones operacionales, y que las estrategias operacionales afectan significativamente las finanzas de las empresas. En general, la investigación previa no ha tenido en cuenta el examen conjunto de la gestión de los riesgos financieros y operacionales. Esta tesis ofrece tres capítulos que buscan avanzar la comprensión de la interfaz entre finanzas, operaciones y la gestión de riesgos. Es importante destacar que esta interfaz tiene implicaciones para los diferentes niveles de una organización
Download or read book The Selected Essays of John H Dunning written by John H. Dunning and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes should be required reading for anyone with an interest in international business and globalisation. They add immeasurably to our understanding. Mira Wilkins, Business History Dunning is one of the most prominent researchers and thinkers in the IB field. In these books, he has set out his most celebrated writings and has provided us relatively easy access to widely scattered references in the literature. Rajat Kathuria, Global Business Review The modern academic study of the multinational enterprise started with John Dunning s pioneering study of American Investment in British Manufacturing Industry in 1958. In the early 1970s he began to publish an influential and authoritative stream of papers integrating theoretical and empirical analysis of the multinational enterprise. This fascinating volume charts the evolution of John Dunning s thinking, highlighting his attempts to develop a richer, more dynamic and historical framework for the analysis of the multinational enterprise. It makes compelling reading, and offers unique insights into the intellectual development of his well-known eclectic paradigm of international production. Mark Casson, University of Reading, UK This volume contains a selection of John Dunning s best known and highly acclaimed writings on the theory of international business activity. Spanning more than three decades, the 16 contributions trace the evolution of his thoughts and ideas as an economist, from his first article on the determinants of international production, published in 1973, to his most recent essay on relational assets, networks and global business activity, completed in 2002. Theories and Paradigms of International Business Activity gives particular prominence to the author s much renowned eclectic paradigm, which he first promulgated at a Nobel Symposium on the international allocation of economic activity in 1976. Since then, the author has written over 60 articles, pamphlets and chapters in books which have extended, refined and updated his theorizing on the interface between trade, FDI and MNE activity, in the light of the changing characteristics of the world economy and advances in international business scholarship. This, the first of two volumes of John Dunning s work, is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers with a special interest in the reasons behind the explosive growth in post-war FDI and the globalization of business activity.

Download or read book Enlightened Planning written by Christopher Chapman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategy, risk management and project management are often considered separately by those applying their principles—but at their most effective, all are dependent upon each other for success. Enlightened Planning teaches this holistic perspective and demonstrates how a synthesis of these approaches yields far greater opportunities. A strategic, calculated risk, for example, can be less inherently risky than chronic risk aversion over time. Here, a respected specialist and teacher demonstrates how to become an 'enlightened planner', one that is aware of project, strategy and risk concerns, and their potential interplay. Following the core principle of Keep It Simple Systematically, he shows how organised, systematic thought processes can demystify the complexities of decision-making when considering a huge variety of concerns at once. Supported throughout with real-life cases from the author’s considerable experiences with commercial organisations, it is also supported by a website containing even more cases, learning and teaching materials. This book is essential reading for any practitioner specialising in risk management, project management or strategy; as well as those teachers or participants in executive programmes.
