DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: Coordination under constraints in a pro-social 
 supply chain – The case of deceased donation program in India \n\n Abstr
 act: Prosocial supply chains often lack effective coordination due to mult
 i-stakeholder involvement and constraints at different levels\, especially
  in developing countries. Ineffective coordination leads to sub-optimal ut
 ilisation and decreasing social welfare\, especially when the demand great
 ly exceeds supply. We study the case of deceased organ donation in Indian 
 states to investigate (i) how coordination is affected in a pro-social sup
 ply chain and (ii) how to improve coordination to maximise utility\, respe
 cting the constraints. Our findings suggest that a shared vision across th
 e value chain is the first step in ensuring coordination. The input constr
 aints can be managed by creating an idiosyncratic resource environment\, s
 uch as the “factory-within-factory” approach\, and through opportunist
 ic collaboration\, such as public-private partnerships. The process constr
 aints can be bypassed with the help of social capital\, where a “nexus-o
 f-contracts” perspective is transformed into a “team” perspective fo
 r the greater good. We also find that enforcing output constraints through
  accountability and rewards helps ensure coordination. \n\n Bio: Dr. Harit
 ha Saranga is a Professor in the Production and Operations Management area
  at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. She has been awarded the
  IIMB Chair of Excellence in recognition of her contributions to research 
 and teaching at the Institute. She currently serves as the Chairperson of 
 the Sustainability Taskforce at IIM Bangalore. Dr. Saranga’s research fo
 cuses on the study of quality\, productivity\, and sustainability in firms
  operating across agricultural\, automotive\, pharmaceutical\, and healthc
 are supply chains\, both in India and internationally. Her work employs a 
 combination of empirical and analytical approaches\, including data envelo
 pment analysis\, multiple regression techniques\, time series analysis\, p
 anel data methods\, and optimization models. Haritha Saranga is a Fellow o
 f MIRCE Academy\, Exeter\, UK\, and a recipient of the T.E. Filbee Researc
 h Fellowship. She was also awarded the ISA Babbage Industrial Innovation P
 olicy Award (2026) in recognition of her research contributions that effec
 tively bridge academic scholarship and industrial policy. \n\n She has pub
 lished several articles in refereed international journals\, such as Produ
 ction and Operations Management\, Journal of International Business Studie
 s\, European Journal of Operational Research\, MIT Sloan Management Review
  and Journal of Operational Research Society. She also co-authored a book
