The Olin Award, which includes business school recognition and a $10,000 prize, is&＃160;intended to promote scholarly research that has timely practical applications for complex management problems. &＃8220;Soybean farmers are subjected to dozens and dozens of seed varieties,&＃8221; said&＃160;Richard J. Mahoney, former CEO of Monsanto and a Distinguished Executive-in-Residence at Olin, who initiated the $10,000 prize. &＃8220;If you knew you&＃8217;d have perfect weather, certain varieties would work better than others. A bad guess can be quite punishing.&＃8221; Dong,&＃160;professor of operations and manufacturing management, and&＃160;Sundaramoorthi,&＃160;senior lecturer in management, received notice that they had received this year&＃8217;s award, competing against a score of other papers and finalists, during a brief ceremony in Dean Mark Taylor&＃8217;s office on Monday. &＃8220;Improving crop yield is a critical and necessary component of achieving food security and protecting natural resources and environmental quality for future generations,&＃8221; Dong and&＃160;Sundaramoorthi wrote in their award-winning paper, entitled, &＃8220;Machine Learning Based Simulation and Optimization of Soybean Variety Selection.&＃8221; &＃8220;We formulate a simulation-based optimization problem to determine the optimal soybean-mix to minimize the risk associated with the yield&＃8230;to make soybean-mix recommendations to the farmers.&＃8221; A panel of judges evaluates each paper submitted for consideration for the Olin Award. After reviewing the entries, one judge wrote, &＃8220;It is directly applicable to business results and is something that every farmer that raises soybeans can benefit from regardless of their size&＃8212;scale independent.&＃8221; Wrote another: &＃8220;Within the narrow application this would seem to have great potential to produce meaningful benefits.&＃8221; The research pair will be formally recognized at a luncheon yet to be scheduled, where they will have the opportunity to present their research.
