Dr. Robert Kennedy appointed Dean of Ivey Business School

Professor Kennedy comes to Ivey following a 10-year career at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business where he has served in multiple roles that include Executive Director of the William Davidson Institute, Director of the Ross School Global Initiative, and the Tom Lantos Professor of Business Administration.

 

At Ross, Professor Kennedy published more than 50 cases and notes used in the school’s international business curriculum. Prior to his tenure at Michigan, Kennedy was a member of faculty at the Harvard Business School from 1995 through 2003. During that time, he published more than 60 case studies and notes on business issues in emerging markets.

Featured case in Operations Management, Management Science & Information Systems

DHL Supply Chain (Simplified Chinese)
by Singfat Chu, David Ringrose

 

The degradation of the environment has led many governments and customers to pressure businesses to make their operations more environmentally friendly. The case illustrates an effective example of corporate social responsibility. Specifically, it demonstrates how a small increase in a supply chain budget can drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation of LCD TVs from their manufacturing bases to a distribution centre.

 

Learning Objectives:

This case highlights optimization concepts with the objective of minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. Students get to design (or complete) an Excel template using the SOLVER optimization tool. Students will determine which original design manufacturers will manufacture the TVs and what transportation methods will be used to ship them to the distribution centre. The project lies within the capabilities of undergraduates and MBA students taking analytics courses.
