Focusing on the bullwhip effect, implications of information asymmetry for upstream firms, distant from a market, are highlighted. A novel approach is presented as effective for sensing changes in market demand without reliance on supply chain partners.Design/methodology/approach: Remedies for the bullwhip effect based on traditional supply chain management techniques and technologies are discussed, providing a series of succinct hypotheses that summarise key relationships. These hypotheses are used to establish the usefulness of an emerging technology. Findings: The paper explains how the emerging technology of sentiment analysis can meet the same fundamental requirements for supply chain managers. Through rapid and real-time monitoring of aggregated opinions expressed in social media, upstream suppliers can gather additional external data that reduce reliance on supply chain partners to achieve the same objectives. Research limitations/implications: The effectiveness of the process is demonstrated by logically extrapolating that the approach is valuable to upstream companies, after showing that a consumer-facing firm can use the approach with accuracy. Practical implications: The practical value of textual data analysis is highlighted to emphasise how upstream firms can improve sensitivity to market demand changes, without requiring collaboration with supply chain members.Originality/value: Through the novel application of sentiment analysis to support supply chain management, the value of this paper is the unique opportunity logically afforded upstream firms to increase transparency and speed of response to market changes.","PeriodicalId":49886,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74187872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using hand-collected data from 10-K Filings, we find that manufacturers with more concentrated customer bases hold fewer inventories for less time and are less likely to end up with excess inventories, as indicated by the lower likelihood and magnitude of inventory write-downs and reversals. Using disaggregated inventory disclosures, we find that inventory efficiencies primarily flow through the finished goods inventory account, while raw material efficiencies are offset by higher work-in-process holdings and longer work-in-process cycles. In additional analysis, we document a valuation premium for more concentrated manufacturers after controlling for other firm characteristics, including default risk and cost of capital estimates. We conclude that investors trade off the costs and benefits of relationships with a limited number of major customers and, on balance, consider customer-base concentration as a net positive for firm valuation. Overall, our study adds to interdisciplinary research in accounting and operations management by shedding new light on the relevance of major customer disclosures for fundamental analysis and valuation in the manufacturing sector.","PeriodicalId":49886,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83499738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Product Assortment and Price Competition Under Multinomial Logit Demand","authors":"Omar Besbes, Denis Sauré","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2406158","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2406158","url":null,"abstract":"type=\"main\" xml:id=\"poms12402-abs-0001\"> The role of assortment planning and pricing in shaping sales and profits of retailers is well documented and studied in monopolistic settings. However, such a role remains relatively unexplored in competitive environments. In this study, we study equilibrium behavior of competing retailers in two settings: (i) when prices are exogenously fixed, and retailers compete in assortments only; and (ii) when retailers compete jointly in assortment and prices. For this, we model consumer choice using a multinomial Logit, and assume that each retailer selects products from a predefined set, and faces a display constraint. We show that when the sets of products available to retailers do not overlap, there always exists one equilibrium that Pareto-dominates all others, and that such an outcome can be reached through an iterative process of best responses. A direct corollary of our results is that competition leads a firm to offer a broader set of products compared to when it is operating as a monopolist, and to broader offerings in the market compared to a centralized planner. When some products are available to all retailers, that is, assortments might overlap, we show that display constraints drive equilibrium existence properties.","PeriodicalId":49886,"journal":{"name":"Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82502819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
