Partners

We work closely with industry partners using an Engaged Scholarship approach to solve business problems and advance knowledge. We collaborate with partners to look at problems from different perspectives, and to develop and evaluate solutions using rigorous research methods.

Our Engaged Scholarship approach to collaborate with our partners allows us to generate solutions for partners, practice-focused articles for top practitioner outlets, and scholarly articles for top academic outlets. In addition, outcomes from these engagements include white papers, case studies, practitioner publications, industry presentations, training modules, and solutions. Here are a few examples:

Case Studies


Sustainable Value Creation in Supply Chain Relationships: The UPS-HP Relationship

A teaching note is available to accompany the case 9B07D002, Version: 2006-08-05.

The case surfaces how supply-chain relationships need to adapt goals, processes, and enabling information technologies to enable a balanced pursuit of improvement and innovation. The case also reveals how outsourcing partnerships can be developed to move beyond incremental improvements of existing processes to partners collaborating to co-create value in novel ways. The case is used in business schools and corporate executive training.
