讲座内容：
In almost all fields of business and management, a fundamental question is whether to centralize or decentralize a firm and/or a supply chain. Conventional wisdom suggests that centralization or supply chain coordination is desirable because it can eliminate inefficiencies such as double marginalization. However, there has been a persistent research stream demonstrating the strategic benefits of firm and/or supply chain decentralization. For example, it has been found that supply chain decentralization is better when selling durable goods. For another example, a firm or supply chain may want to decentralize to strategically influence external players’ decisions. In this talk, I will first attempt to review some such research from Accounting, Marketing, and Operations which shows the strategic benefit of decentralization under various contexts. I will then present some of my own research in this research stream.
