Operations management
Cooperative and non-cooperative game theory in supply chains
Interface of operations management and marketing
Shuya Yin joined the Merage School faculty in July 2005. Her recent research addresses various problems in decentralized retail supply chains by using non-cooperative and cooperative game theory.
Professor Yin is interested in issues including product-return policies between channel members, secondary market for durable products, alliances of players in selling and buying, timing of operational decisions, and management of information flow on uncertain demand. Her research has been published in academic journal such as Management Science, Operations Research, and Naval Research Logistics.
