WORKSHOP: Supply Chain Management with Focus on Green Supply Chain Management, Int'l Supply Chain Management, Auctions and Pricing Strategy; Feb. 28-Mar. 2, 2004, Gainesville, FL

我们建议在佛罗里达大学举办一个供应链管理研讨会，重点关注绿色供应链管理、国际供应链管理以及拍卖和定价策略。本次研讨会的目的是将来自学术界和商业实践的专家聚集在一起，就供应链管理的最新技术、关键问题领域和该领域的未来方向进行讨论。具体来说，本次研讨会的四个主要目标是，通过学术界和工业界参与者的参与：描述在绿色供应链管理、国际供应链管理和在线拍卖领域，领先的制造和服务公司面临的问题和挑战；定义当前行业可用的最先进技术和决策支持能力；识别新技术和决策支持解决方案能力，以应对行业面临的新挑战，并推动新的战略和竞争优势来源；并确定和定义学术研究机会和挑战，以开发行业寻求的新技术和决策支持解决方案能力。信息技术的最新进展和互联网上电子商务活动的增长减少了全球化的障碍，因此，联机采购和国际供应链管理方面的能力正在成为关键的成功因素。与此同时，组织已经发现绿色供应链管理的好处远远超出了简单地满足监管要求，并且可以提高效率和降低成本。我们建议在本次研讨会中重点讨论供应链管理实践中这三个重要的新兴趋势。特别是，我们将讨论创新的解决方案方法，以克服这些领域中的重大复杂性。我们研讨会的目标是将前沿研究人员和实践者聚集在一起，以确定未来十年三个重点领域的关键研究问题。我们计划向学术和行业参与者征集论文，并出版研讨会论文集。会议记录应包括一组由发言者撰写的文件，这些文件既包含发言者的发言内容，又总结讨论期间提出的主要观点。

We propose organizing a workshop on Supply Chain Management with specific focus on green supply chain management, international supply chain management, and auction and pricing strategy at the University of Florida. The objective of this workshop is to bring together experts from academia and business practice to engage in a discussion on the state-of-the-art in supply chain management and the critical problem areas and future directions within this field. Specifically, the four main goals of this workshop are, through the participation of academic and industry participants, to: characterize the problems and challenges facing leading-edge manufacturing and service firms in the areas of green supply chain management, international supply chain management and online auctions; define the state-of-the art technological and decision support capabilities currently available to industry; identify the new technological and decision support solution capabilities needed for both meeting newly arising challenges faced by industry and for driving new sources of strategic and competitive advantage; and identify and define academic research opportunities and challenges for developing new technological and decision support solution capabilities sought by industry.Recent advances in information technology and the growth of electronic commerce activity over the Internet have reduced barriers to globalization, and as a result, competency in on-line procurement and international supply chain management are becoming critical success factors. At the same time, organizations have found that the benefits of green supply chain management extend far beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements and can lead to improved sources of efficiency and cost reduction. We propose to focus on these three important emerging trends in supply chain management practice during this workshop. In particular, we will discuss innovative solution approaches to overcome the significant complexities within these areas.The goal of our workshop is to bring together leading-edge researchers and practitioners in order to define the critical research problems within the three focus areas for the next decade. We plan to solicit papers from both academic and industry participants and publish workshop proceedings. The proceedings should contain a set of papers written by presenters that both captures the content of the presentation and summarizes the major points made during the discussions.
