He served as the dean of faculty and research betwe en September 2019 and August 2022 and as the director of research between January 2017 and August 2019. He was the inaugural academic director of th e Future Institute for Sustainable Transformation in 2022\, and previously the Center for Sustainable Business and Leadership after its founding in 2019. Before joining ESMT Berlin in 2015\, Tamer was a professor of operat ions management and a Desautels Faculty Scholar at 91şÚÁĎÍř\, Can ada. Tamer received his PhD\, MPhil\, and MSc from Columbia University\, N ew York\, USA. Tamer Boyaci’s research is wide in scope and cross-discipli nary in nature\, often cutting across supply chain operations\, marketing\ , economics\, and sustainability. His most recent work focuses on behavior al decision-making\, rational inattention\, and applications to business o perations. Another major research interest of Tamer links operations to su stainability. His latest works in this domain dwell on circular economy\, sustainable product design and innovation. Tamer’s scholarly work has appe ared in the most prestigious international journals of his discipline\, in cluding Management Science\, Operations Research\, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management\, Production and Operations Management\, among othe rs.\n\nAbstract\n\nIn the wake of the 2013 European Horsemeat Scandal\, th e term 'food integrity' was defined in the Elliott Report as encompassing food safety\, food composition\, transparency and the ways food is sourced \, procured and distributed. In 2016\, four elements of food integrity wer e proposed: product integrity\, process integrity\, people integrity and d ata integrity (Manning\, 2016). These four elements underpin the strategic direction and operationalisation of a food control management system (FCM S) at organisational\, supply chain or regulatory levels. FCMS have a wide breadth including food safety\, food composition and quality\, food legal ity (considering not only compliance\, but also intention to undertake ill egal actions) and food defence. Food integrity too\, as a concept\, is eve r evolving both in academic literature and in practice\, especially when c onsidered in the wider context of operational integrity\, smart food syste ms (internet of things\, use of AI and machine learning and digitalisation ) and organisational integrity. In this talk Professor Louise Manning will reflect on these themes\, and the challenges and enablers to delivering f ood integrity. Whilst the focus is the food supply chain\, the conversatio n will be of value to people and organisations working within all commodit y and value-added supply chains\n\nChair: Professor Laurette DubĂ© (Scienti fic Director of MCCHE)\n Co-Chair & Moderator: John G. Keogh (Professor of Practice\, MCCHE\; Founder\, Shantalla Inc.)\n\nPanel Discussion: We live in an attention economy. Every decision we take as individuals require our time\, mental engagement and cognitive effort\, all of which are limited resources. The theory of rational inattention (RI)\, originated by the 201 1 Nobel Laurate Christopher Sims\, provides a compelling framework to mode l decisions under scarce attention. It assumes that agents cannot attend t o all information due to limited capacity but can choose what type and ext ent of information to acquire and process. It captures the flexible\, adap tive\, yet constrained ability of human agents in a tractable manner. In t his webinar\, we deliberate how rationally inattentive agents form judgeme nts and make decisions\, with examples focusing on purchasing decisions in retail\, access of services\, among others. We will discuss the subsequen t implications on information provisioning strategies and operational deci sions (e.g. pricing) of firms serving agents with limited attention. Utili zing RI as the foundational model of human agents\, we will also analyze h uman-machine collaboration in the age of AI\, and demonstrate the impact o n decision accuracy\, error rates\, as well as cognitive effort. The semin ar will draw on models and results from several published papers of the pr esenter.\n\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovation Webinar Series features cutting edge science\, technology and innovation in agriculture\ , food\, environment\, education\, medicine and other domains of everyday life where grand challenges lie at the convergence of health and economics . Powered by data science\, artificial intelligence\, and other digital te chnologies\, this disciplinary knowledge bridges with behavioural\, social \, humanities\, business\, economics\, social\, engineering\, and complexi ty sciences to accelerate real-world solution at scale\, be it in digital or physical contexts. Initiated in the agri-food domain\, the series is no w encompassing other grand challenges facing modern and traditional econom ies and societies\, such as ensuring lifelong wellness and resilience at b oth the individual and population levels.\n DTSTART:20230419T150000Z DTEND:20230419T170000Z SUMMARY:MCCHE Convergent Innovation Webinar Series with Tamer Boyaci URL:/desautels/channels/event/mcche-convergent-innovat ion-webinar-series-tamer-boyaci-347717 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
