受我院管理科学与工程系邀请，2019年5月10日上午，香港理工大学商学院物流与海事研究学系汪玉兰副教授为我院师生做了一场精彩的学术报告。该学术讲座主题为“Information Sharing, Pricing Timing and Platform Selection”，由管理科学与工程系主任许明辉老师主持，戴宾、陈植元等老师以及我院二十多名博士生、硕士生和本科生参加了此次学术活动。

　　汪玉兰老师从网络平台(online platform)、混合平台(Hybrid platform)、纯代理平台(Pure agency platform)、批发价契约的时间顺序(Timing of contracting over wholesale pricing)这四个关键词引入，由此引出了信息共享和批发价契约的时间顺序是如何影响网络平台选择的研究问题。汪老师为师生们详细介绍了该问题的研究背景，然后对不同的情形构建了数学模型，并给出了求解分析的方法。通过对所得到的结果的对比分析，揭示了网络平台选择的影响因素。

　　整场讲座持续了近一个半小时，在场的每一位师生都认真地听取报告，并在讲座过程中及结束后与汪老师进行了热烈的交流和讨论，大家都觉得受益匪浅。汪玉兰老师热情欢迎大家与她经常交流和讨论，她对研究的热情感染了在座的每一位师生。最后，许明辉老师对这次讲座进行了系统性的总结，并感谢汪玉兰老师带来的精彩报告。

　　学术报告后，汪玉兰老师还向我院师生介绍了她所任职的香港理工大学，并详细介绍了香港理工大学的博士培养方案，并热情欢迎武汉大学的优秀学生申请该博士项目。
