Researchers in the news

  • Xiao Huang, associate professor and Concordia University Research Chair in Supply Change Management in the John Molson School of Business, was a guest on CJAD's Natasha Hall Show, where she discussed a new consumer study she led with Gregory Kersten, Senior Concordia University Research Chair in Decision and Negotiation Systems. The research examined “name-your-own-price” selling strategies and found the strategies rarely benefit competing suppliers, especially when demand for a particular good or service is low or inventory levels are high. Get the audio through the "Listen" section of the station website and look for the Natasha Hall Show link, "Those Name Your Price deals might not actually be a deal".
