Re-examining the link between fairness and commitment in buyer-supplier relationships

By re-examining the link between fairness and commitment in supply chain relationships, this study elaborates on the existing theory that views fairness only as an antecedent. It proposes that commitment can also precede perceived fairness, thus redefining the link between the concepts as bidirectional in buyer–supplier relationships. The study examines both the buyer and supplier perspectives. Based on interviews at 24 technology industry firms in Finland, this empirical study demonstrates that buyer commitment has a positive impact on how suppliers perceive distributive fairness in the relationship. In turn, this effect is reciprocated by the suppliers through a commitment in the form of relationship-specific investments and continuous improvements that are perceived as fair by the buyer. As a managerial implication the study emphasizes the importance of fairness evaluation to the relationship parties.     

Effective and equitable supply of gasoline to impacted areas in the aftermath of a natural disaster

The focus of this research is on supplying gasoline after a natural disaster. There are two aspects for this work: determination of which gas stations should be provided with generators (among those that do not have electric power) and determination of a delivery scheme that accounts for increased demand due to lack of public transportation and considerations such as equity. We develop a mixed integer program for this situation. Two case studies based on Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey are developed and solved in CPLEX. As expected, increasing equity increases cost and also tends to place generators to stations with large initial inventories. It is further observed that CPLEX can solve the largest instances of the problem for a 5% tolerance gap, indicating that the model is efficient.

从行政主导到合作管理：我国环境治理体系的转型

我国环境治理体系的转型是在双重背景下进行的,一方面,国际环境管理变革呈现出从行政主导向合作管理转变的趋势;另一方面,国内环境问题出现了新的变化,行政主导的环境治理体系的弊端开始逐步暴露。行政主导的环境治理体系不能有效地应对区域、流域污染问题、不能有效地应对生态系统管理问题、不能有效地解决涉及多个行动主体的环境问题。合作管理的环境治理体系力图解决复杂的环境问题,整合行政、市场和社会参与三种机制的力量。从社会资源动员角度看,合作管理强调利益相关者之间的博弈与合作,强调环境问题不仅仅是工程技术问题,而且更是社会问题。我国环境治理体系的转型已成为公共治理变革的最前沿领域和主要内容。
