Freight origin-destination (OD) estimation becomes increasingly important.<br />
Traditional general traffic OD estimation methods based on loop detectors have<br />
the under-specification problem. This paper investigates a Bayesian Networks<br />
approach for estimating freight OD-matrices by Markov-chain-Monte-Carlo<br />
methods, thereby mitigating under-determinacy by exploiting proportionallycontributing<br />
multiple data sources, such as camera, Bluetooth and<br />
Weigh-in-Motion.<br />
4 - Simulation and Multi-objective Optimization Combining<br />
Framework for Container Terminal Optimization<br />

This presentation proposes a combining framework to integrate simulation and<br />
multi-objective optimization(MOO) for better description of dynamic real-world<br />
systems in low cost and reasonable computational time. A case study on container<br />
terminal equipment optimization is discussed to demonstrate its applications.<br />
Results are compared by post-MOO structure and integrated MOO structure.<br />

1 - Agile Supply Chain Building via Semantic Supplier Search<br />

The goal of a supply chain in manufacturing domain is to guarantee that the right<br />
amount of the right product is in the right place at the right time. To accomplish<br />
this, an agile supply chain formation is critical. We propose a semantic<br />
manufacturing supplier discovery framework that structuralizes buyer’s demand<br />
requirements and supplier’s capability information to assist in building such a<br />
supply chain.<br />
2 - Supply Network Structure and Firm Innovation:<br />
An Empirical Investigation<br />

We investigate the impact of supply network structure on firm innovation. Using<br />
a network-analytic lens, we develop and test our hypotheses linking firm level<br />
network properties and innovation. Our analysis considers how firm innovation is<br />
affected through the extended network it shares between each entity in the<br />
supply network.<br />

3 - The Effect of a Temporary Product Distribution Channel on<br />
Supply Chain Performance<br />

We analyze a supply chain of a manufacturer and two retailers. The first retailer<br />
always stocks the product. The second retailer is a deal-of-the day (DOTD) retailer<br />
who sells the product for a short time of few days at a discount. The DOTD<br />
retailer sells the product at a discount due to a price discount she gets for ordering<br />
a large quantity. We identify the discounted wholesale price and the discount<br />
order quantity. We find that he temporary channel can increase the profit of the<br />
manufacturer.<br />
4 - Revisiting Interorganizational Trust: Is More Always Better or<br />
Could More Be Worse?<br />

We conduct a more comprehensive examination of trust by considering both its<br />
positive and negative effects and by investigating how they function differently<br />
under different types of uncertainties.We use data from a sample of 133 buyersupplier<br />
relationships. The results suggest that the negative effects of trust become<br />
more notable when there is high behavioral uncertainty between buyers and<br />
suppliers and less evident when there is high environmental uncertainty for<br />
buyers.<br />

1 - Exploring Organizational Identity and Organizational Design in<br />
Technological Transitions<br />
Mary Tripsas, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School,<br />

United States of America, mtripsas@hbs.edu<br />
Innovation research suggests that a separate new technology unit with its own<br />
identity increases the odds of a successful technological transformation. Identity<br />
research, however, has shown that multiple identities can be harmful, posing a<br />
dilemma. Through a comparison of FujiFilm and Polaroid’s reactions to digital<br />
imaging, we propose that establishing a separate new technology unit can cause<br />
dormant identity conflicts to surface, and reconciling those conflicts is critical to<br />
success.
