Introductions • Ananth Iyer, Associate Dean Graduate Programs, Susan Bulkeley Butler Chair in Operations Management • This is the Sixth such event • Focus – Doctoral Students • Goal – Increase doctoral student interest in research and teaching of International Operations • Introduce yourselves – who you are, your University, year in the PhD, your research topic or aspiration
What is International Operations • Institutions • Trade • Exchange Rates • Regulation • Risk • Accounting • Sustainability • And many other topics…
What will the faculty presentations focus on ? • Mac Dada – Modeling Global Operations • David Hummels – Trade Liberalization in Services • Jay Swaminathan – Humanitarian Logistics and Global Health • Sridhar Seshadri – Financial Risk and Operations • Justin Jia – Remanufacturing • Prashant Yadav – Global Health and Models • Masha Shunko – Transfer Prices • Ananth Iyer – Environmental Issues – regulation and operations impact

Why do International Operations • Interesting research contexts – there is usually a country that has a law that can justify a model assumption • Possible sources of detailed data • Collection of firms in a region that are making a change in the way they run operations
