Workshop: Using secondary data in Operations Management research

Abstract:

Operations Management (OM) researchers are using publicly available secondary data to analyze the effect of operations decisions on corporate performance using metrics related to shareholder value and operating performance. This seminar will review the emerging research that links operations decisions to corporate performance. More specifically the seminar will cover the following:

• Discuss data sources and approaches that can be used for conducting research using secondary data
• Discuss issues related to sample collection and hypotheses development.
• Discuss research methods and statistical techniques that can be used to measure short-term and long-term stock price effects, stock price volatility effects, and operating performance effects of operations decisions.
• Discuss papers that have applied these approaches to operations management issues.   We will review papers that use stock price and accounting data to research issues related to quality management, supply chain disruptions, inventory management, new product development, demand-supply mismatches, capacity management, investments in information technology, and environmental performance.
