Biography
Jordan Tong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Operations and Information Management at the Wisconsin School of Business.
Professor Tong’s research uses mathematical modeling and experimental methods to investigate questions in operations management and behavioral science. Questions he has explored include when and why managers’ forecasts tend to biased high or low, how supply chains should strategically prepare for disruptions like demand surges, and how the payment timing component of supply chain contracts impacts the inventory level decisions of its members. His research appears in journals such as Management Science, Psychological Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Production and Operations Management. He is an associate editor at Decision Sciences and an editorial board member at Production and Operations Management.
In addition to his research, Professor Tong has taught undergraduate and Master’s-level courses in Operations Management, Operations Analytics, Supply Chain Management, and Prescriptive Modeling & Optimization for Business Analytics. He received his PhD in Operations Management from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and his BA in Mathematics from Pomona College.
