Inventory management with substitution effects and endogenous lead time.

This PhD thesis is about multi item inventory management with customer-driven substitution or customer choice. In this setting, the company can only indirectly influence customer decisions by its marketing choices (e.g., price and quality of the products). We study the optimal pricing and assortment decisions of a manufacturing firm in this setting with fixed and load-dependent lead time.
