Podcast appearances and mentions of Christopher S Tang

The escalating Houthi attacks in the Red Sea region are creating economic and security concerns globally. The US and UK have responded with airstrikes against Houthi sites in Yemen, in an attempt to prevent the group from endangering freedom of navigation and disrupting trade. The repercussions are also felt in China, a powerful maritime nation. On this podcast, Christopher S. Tang, a professor in Business Administration at the Anderson School of UCLA in California, considers how China and other countries are seeking to mitigate the risks. The podcast is hosted by regular presenter, Duncan Bartlett.

Long a distinguished professor in the Anderson School of Management  at UCLA, Dr. Tang wrote an Op Ed in the LA Times recently where he pointed out that Asian Americans are rarely seen as being management or executive material. We not only explore what stereotypes are behind keeping most of them below the 'glass ceiling,' but also some concrete things that many of us can do to break through that barrier.

Zócalo and the University of Toronto present The World We Want, an event series exploring our current societal, political, and economic challenges and how we might emerge from the current moment. The series continued with “What Would a New Cold War Mean for the World?” Civilization faces existential threats—pandemics, climate change, nuclear proliferation, runaway technologies—that seem to require international collaboration. Meanwhile, China and the United States are engaging in greater conflict with each other, and embracing unilateralism in matters of trade, technology, national security, and the sovereignty of their neighbors. To what extent will nations, businesses, NGOs, and individuals across the globe have to take sides if the U.S.-China contest becomes a new Cold War? What are the perils of the bitter competition between China and the West over 5G networks and artificial intelligence? And is it possible to create a collaborative and resilient international order to solve big problems, or are we headed toward a decoupling of East and West? University of Toronto historian and author of “War: How Conflict Shaped Us” Margaret MacMillan, FSI Center fellow at Stanford University and American Enterprise Institute defense and foreign policy fellow Oriana Mastro, and UCLA Anderson distinguished professor Christopher S. Tang visited Zócalo to contemplate how the world, and our lives, would change during a new Cold War. This Zócalo/University of Toronto online event was moderated by New York Times associate managing editor Philip P. Pan, author of “Out of Mao’s Shadow.” Zócalo and the University of Toronto thank the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles for supporting The World We Want.

This is the sixth episode of Listen to the Editors, a series of interviews with journal editors to unveil the trends in research for Operations and Supply Chain Management. In this episode we are interviewing the editor-in-chief for the Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Christopher S. Tang. He served as the editor-in-chief since 2015 and his tenure ends in December 2020, as required by INFORMS, the sponsor of the journal. The MSOM journal exists since 1999 and is listed in the prestigious list FT50 since 2016. It received 500 submissions in 2018, with 13-14% acceptance rate. Dr. Tang attempted to make the editorial board more inclusive, in terms of gender, research methods, geographic location, and affiliation. Around 10-12% are desk-rejected, but the reasons vary, because department editors handle the majority of the papers. The papers were downloaded 26,000 times in 2018. We don't have data on the global reach of the journal. We discussed the editorial process. Dr. Tang implemented what he calls the 2+2+2 criteria: two reviewers, two rounds, two opportunities to resubmit. We had an overview of the Best Paper Award. We also talked about Practice-Based Research Competition, an unique approach to problem solving. The journal has currently two open calls for papers for Special Issues: Smart Operations, Smart Cities, due October 1, 2019, and Operations and Fintech, due September 1, 2020. The host for this show is Iuri Gavronski, Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Business for the UNISINOS Jesuit University. Listen to the editors is an initiative of the Operations and Supply Chain Management division of the Academy of Management. We post our interviews monthly in our division website. You can discuss any of the topics of this episode using our interactive tool, https://connect.aom.org. Using the discussion section of our site, you can also post suggestions for questions, journal editors you would like to hear from, and requests for clarifications.

Tang is Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He holds the Edward W. Carter Chair in Business Administration. His early research focused on mainstream operations management problems, such as production planning and control, inventory models with yield uncertainties, design and control of flexible manufacturing lines, and capacity configuration problems. Tang expanded his interest and research, working with marketing researchers on production planning and promotion, joint pricing and production decision-making, and advanced booking. He continued his integration with retailing in the exploration of joint operations decisions and assortment planning, consumer shopping behaviors and product pricing. His research now spans different areas that include global supply chain management, retail operations and social business operations. His current interest focuses on social innovation for developing countries, looking at ways that companies can operate in the environment, doing good and doing well at the same time — “where corporate responsibility, social justice, and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.” Acknowledgements: ================= I would like to thank my research assistant, Luiz Paulo R.C.

As America retreats from global leadership—blowing up trade agreements, questioning longstanding security alliances, dropping out of the Paris climate accord—China is stepping into the void. Yet for all its advances, China remains a developing country itself, with one of the world’s most repressive governments. UCLA Anderson economist Jerry Nickelsburg, biotech executive Yiwen Li, UCLA Anderson business administration scholar Christopher S. Tang, and UC San Diego political economist Ruixue Jia, along with moderator Julie Makinen, former Beijing Bureau Chief of the Los Angeles Times, on Nov. 16, 2017 took part in a Zócalo/UCLA panel discussion titled “Is China Prepared to Lead the Global Economy?” at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy in downtown Los Angeles.
