Pet ownership and related consumption practices : the role of moralization (2011)
Journal Article
McEachern, G., & Cheetham, F. (2011). Pet ownership and related consumption practices : the role of moralization

This paper considers the role of morality in the consumption practices associated with pet ownership. To explore these practices, we adopt Holt’s (1995) Typology of Consumption Practices. A photo-elicitation technique is used to elicit stories from f... Read More about Pet ownership and related consumption practices : the role of moralization.

Interactive shrinkage methods for class handicapping (2011)
Journal Article
Percy, D. (2011). Interactive shrinkage methods for class handicapping. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 22(2), 139-156

A recent publication identified weaknesses with the current handicapping system for disabled Alpine skiing, suggested minor improvements and tentatively proposed an alternative system. This proposal uses shrinkage methods to allow for varying class s... Read More about Interactive shrinkage methods for class handicapping.

An aggregate – disaggregate intermittent demand approach (ADIDA) to forecasting : an empirical proposition and analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Nikolopoulos, K., Syntetos, A., Boylan, J., Petropoulos, F., & Assimakopoulos, V. (2011). An aggregate – disaggregate intermittent demand approach (ADIDA) to forecasting : an empirical proposition and analysis. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 62(3), 544-554. https://doi.org/10.1057/jors.2010.32

Intermittent demand patterns are characterised by infrequent demand arrivals coupled with variable demand sizes. Such patterns prevail in many industrial applications, including IT, automotive, aerospace and military. An intuitively appealing strate...

On the interaction between forecasting and stock control : the case of non-stationary demand (2011)
Journal Article

The effect of using estimated (forecast) demand parameters on the performance of an inventory control system is an intriguing and important subject. Recent research has been undertaken on this phenomenon assuming stationary demand data. In this paper...
