Durango-Cohen’s Paper Accepted by IIE Transactions

The paper “Outsourcing in Place: Should a Retailer Sell Its Store-Brand Factory?” by Elizabeth Durango-Cohen, Associate Professor of Operations Management, has been accepted for publication by IIE Transactions, one of the premier journals in operations management.

The paper is co-authored by Liad Wagman, Assistant Professor of Economics, and Candace Arai Yano (University of California). They study the impact of selling a retailer's existing capacity-limited factory to a third party when a store-brand product competes with a similar national-brand product.
