Andrew M. Davis

Biography

Andrew Davis is the Breazzano Family Term Professor of Management, Associate Professor of Operations, Technology, and Information Management, and former director of the Business Simulation Lab, at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. His research examines supply chains and operations management, with a particular focus on procurement, contracting, bargaining, platforms, and human-algorithm interactions. Because these settings require managerial input in practice, Davis employs a behavioral methodology when investigating these problems. In particular, he conducts controlled laboratory experiments with human participants to investigate how behavioral factors affect decisions and outcomes.

His research has been published in Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Production and Operations Management. He serves as an associate editor for multiple premier journals. Among others, these include Management Science, Operations Research, and Manufacturing & Service Operations Management. He is also the former president of the INFORMS Behavioral Operations Management Section.

Professor Davis has received numerous awards for his research and service, including the Best Operations Management Paper in Management Science, third place in the Wickham Skinner Early Career Accomplishments Competition, Best Reviewer Award from the Production and Operations Management Society, Best Behavioral Operations Management Working Paper from INFORMS, finalist for the Best Public Operations Research Paper from INFORMS, Distinguished Service Award and Meritorious Service Award from Management Science (four times), Clifford H. Whitcomb Faculty Fellowship from the Johnson School, and Half Century Fellowship from the Johnson School. He has also been named a 40-Under-40 Best MBA Professor by Poets & Quants.

He earned a BA in economics from Colgate University, an MBA from the Pennsylvania State University, and a PhD in supply chain management also from the Pennsylvania State University.
