Research summary

Yingchen Yan studies how companies in supply chains and retail markets make strategic decisions around competition, financing, pricing, and channel choices (e.g., online vs. offline sales). Much of the work uses mathematical modeling to analyze situations where firms are simultaneously competitors and collaborators ('coopetition'), such as sharing platforms, outsourcing to rivals, or arranging financing under uncertain demand or capital constraints. The research is aimed at operations management and supply chain audiences and frequently appears in journals focused on logistics, production economics, and retailing.
