“The BSL has been instrumental to my research on supply chain contracts where Cornell students play the role of managers negotiating terms. By studying negotiations in a controlled environment, we can identify settings and causes that lead to higher profitability. The BSL has been and will continue to be a key factor in my work.”
Andrew Davis, Assistant Professor of Operations, Technology, and Information Management
