The research on the integration of OM and finance focuses on the impact of operational and financial hedging on the choice between overseas and domestic suppliers facing a risk averse-firm. Li also considers the effect of advertising expenditure on pricing as well as market share of two opposite products in centralized and decentralized food chains. The research on technology and capacity management focuses on dynamic technology acquisitions as well as capacity investment planning. In supply chain management, Li focuses on analyzing the interaction between manufacturers and suppliers in a variety of business paradigms. Lastly, Li also conducted varies empirical works to study efficiency and productivity in various industries, including textiles and software. Her works appeared in Management Science (MS), Operations Research (OR), Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM), Production and Operations Management (POM), Information Systems Research (ISR), Journal of Operations Management (JOM), European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR), International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), International Journal of Production Economics (IJPE), Journal of the Operational Research Society (JORS), Journal of Productivity Analysis (JPA) and Socio-Economic Planning Sciences (SEPS).
Shanling Li sits on the editorial boards for several journals. Among others, she currently serves as the associate editor for Production and Operations Management and also was an associate editor of IEEE.
