2 - Pricing Model Of Feeder And Trunk Routes Combined Transport Based on Revenue Sharing Mechanism Hualong Yang, Professor, Dalian Maritime University, Room 510, Management Building, 1 Linghai Road, Dalian, 116026, China, hlyang@dlmu.edu.cn There are strong complementarities between feeder and trunk routes. This paper considered the competition among parallel substitute itineraries and studied the pricing problem of feeder and trunk routes combined path. Based on the vertical integration and diversification in transport chain, a Bertrand game model was established. A reasonable revenue sharing mechanism was further designed, making the transport chain coordinate under decentralized decision making. Numerical Example verifies the effectiveness of the model. The results show that centralized decision making and reasonable revenue sharing mechanism contribute more to boost profits and reduce the transport cost of the shipper. 3 - A Multi Objective Hub Location Model For A Distribution Network Under Uncertainty In Demand And Time Andrew Junfang Yu, Associate Professor, The University of Tennessee Knoxville, UT Space Institute, 411 B.H. Goethert Pkwy., MS 19, Tullahoma, TN, 37388-9700, United States, ajyu@utk.edu, Fahimeh Rahmanniyay In this paper, we develop a multi-objective mixed integer stochastic model (MMS) for hub location problem under uncertainty. The transportation time between each pair of nodes and demand of each node are uncertain parameters. Our multi-objective model includes (1) Minimization of establishment cost as well as transportation cost and (2) minimization of delay between each pair of nodes. WE85 Broadway K- Omni Sustainability V Contributed Session Chair: Hua Cai, Assistant Professor, Purdue University, 315 N. Grant St., West Lafayette, IN, 47907, United States, huacai@purdue.edu 1 - Sustainable Supply Chain Habits: Translating Ethical Practices Into Socially Responsible Supplier Selection And Development Practices Karen Eboch, Senior Lecturer, Bowling Green State University, Department of Management, BAA 3020, Bowling Green, OH, 43403, United States, eboch@bgsu.edu This qualitative study examines the influence of individuals involved in sourcing decisions to determine how corporate social responsibility practices in the selection and development of suppliers are transformed. Based on the relationship between the neuroscience of routine decisions (habits) and the established views of moral development, triggers of critical reflection regarding current policies are investigated to identify the drivers which alter existing supplier relationships. As individual morality is judged along cultural norms, the establishment and change of corporate patterns is seen as an extension of an individual’s development and alteration of existing habits. 2 - On Sustainability Reporting: Increasing Role Of Global Reporting Initiative? Andriy Shapoval, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, United States, ashapoval3@gatech.edu, Henry Osadolor Aigbedo, Marina Mattera, Ivan Oliver Hilliard This is the continuation of the work of the same authors about standards and initiatives in sustainability and corporate social responsibility reporting. Many businesses around the world follow the Global Reporting Initiative, but at different levels and not necessarily incorporate what the stakeholders desire to see. This study evaluates the case of aerospace and defense companies. 3 - Climate Change Initiatives In Supply Chains Alireza Tajbakhsh, McMaster University, DeGroote School of Business, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, L8S 4M4, Canada, alirezt@mcmaster.ca There is ample literature about regional, nationwide, and international efforts in establishing mechanisms to curb pollution and emissions. In this study, we first review a variety of these policy instruments, with a focus on emissions trading systems, and then propose a model in the presence of uncertain demand. To do so, through a static game we investigate a multi-pollutant framework in which a number of entities compete in their product markets.

4 - Environmental Benefits Of Individually Optimized Electric Vehicle Battery Range Hua Cai, Assistant Professor, Purdue University, 315 N. Grant St., West Lafayette, IN, 47907, United States, huacai@purdue.edu, Xiao Shi, Jian Pan Previous studies evaluating the environmental impacts of electric vehicles (EV) often assume that all the adopters will choose the same EV, neglecting the heterogeneity of individual decisions considering individual travel needs and access to charging infrastructure.This study develops optimization models to identify the optimal EV battery range at the individual level using real world vehicle travel data and charging station location information. This study includes both a static analysis, which optimizes with current and historical data, and a dynamic analysis, which considers the uncertainties in individual travel pattern change and the further development of charging infrastructure.

Chair: Hye Ryeong Lim, Seoul National University, Gangnamgu Dogok2dong Academysweet A -1704, Seoul, Korea, Republic of, limhr@snu.ac.kr 1 - Stakeholders’ Influence On Mergers And Acquisitions: The Analysis Of The Impact On Acquisition Premium And Deal Completion Probability JaSeung Koo, Assistant Professor, Kobe International University, 9-1-6 Koyocho-naka, Higashinada-ku, Kobe, 658-0032, Japan, koo.academic@gmail.com There is extensive management literature on stakeholders’ influence on corporate business operations, yet there is little known about whether and how stakeholders influence M&A progress. This study focuses on three types of primary stakeholders: employees, shareholders, and lenders, and examined their influence on the likelihood of completing an announced M&A and acquisition premiums. I explored stakeholders’ reactions, which reflect their anticipation of benefits and losses from the proposed M&A with an empirical analysis of longitudinal data for listed Japanese non-financial firms’ M&As between 1986 and 2012. The results showed general support for the proposed hypotheses. 2 - The Relationship Between Deep Level Diversity And Team Benefits: A Mixed Method from China Yanqiu Song, Central University of Finance and Economics, Haidian, 39th South College Road, Beijing, China, sunny_syq@163.com, Aijing Ran By using a mix-method, this paper aims to explore the dynamics of deep-level diversity in heterogeneous teams. First, we use an exploratory multi-case study to identify the influential factors of team diversity and team outcomes. Through interviews of 12 innovation teams in 6 international corporations, this study explores the impact mechanism of personality diversity and culture diversity on team process and team outcomes. Secondly, based on a dataset of 209 questionnaires, we testify the mediating role of team conflict and the moderating role of personality diversity and culture diversity in teams. 3 - New Perspectives on Contingent Workers Hye Ryeong Lim, Seoul National University, Gangnamgu Dogok2dong Academysweet A -1704, Seoul, Korea, Republic of, limhr@snu.ac.kr, Kyung Suk Lee In a fast changing business environment, firms rely on contingent workers to achieve flexibility. We found that contingent workers with high trust and various backgrounds engage with more voice behaviors than regular workers, bringing new perspectives to the organization as strength of weak tie theory suggests. With panel-data collected biennially from 41,740 contingent workers in 355 different organizations from 2005 to 2013, we conducted cluster analysis, dividing them into four categories: high trust, different backgrounds, high fatigue and perception of competitive organizational culture. We suggest firms first need to build trust with them to make the most of their knowledge.
