Background
A vital function in supply chain management is to coordinate multiple firms or links in order to achieve an optimal outcome.
The coordination could be in terms of materials, information and/or financial flows along the value chain.
Considerable applied and theoretical interest has been shown in developing organizations, methods and models that facilitate this coordination.
However, since it involves both an in-depth understanding of the supply chain optimization and the mastery of mechanism design, coordination skills are rare and sought-after by industry.
