Atour TAGHIPOUR is a professor and the head of two international management master programs at Normandy University in France (Master (II) of International Purchasing and Master (I) of International Marketing). He holds an HDR in management from Normandy University and a PhD in Industrial Engineering from the Polytechnic School of Montreal in Canada. He received two masters’ degrees, one in Management, Logistics & Strategy and other in Industrial Engineering. He has more than ten years of experiences as a manager in automobile industries. He has published different books and many research papers in international journals. His areas of research are supply chain and operations management.

My main research interest is in the domain of operations management. More specifically, I am very interested in planning of supply chain operations in two different sectors of service and production. In my research, I view supply chains, regardless of sector, as networks of business units characterized by separate but interdependent planning decision areas. The main issue in managing these networks is the coordination of the operations of supply chain members. However, difficulties arise when the decision domains are considered to be independent units. Thus, the problem arises when there is the question of the exchange of information between independent units. In practice, supply chain operations are generally coordinated and planned hierarchically, through central and aggregated control of a planning unit, which requires a high level of information exchange, or through the relatively inefficient upstream planning approach, in which operations are planned and the derived order is sent to suppliers. The high degree of information exchange causes difficulties when independent members do not wish to share information, such as cost, profit margin, stock level or capacity utilization. In order to resolve these difficulties, decentralized approaches for coordinating operational planning decisions based on minimal information sharing have been proposed in many academic disciplines. My research focuses on these approaches, studying different aspects of supply chains.
