摘要：Using a large sample of supplier-firm relationships, we develop new measures to operationalize the industrial and geographical concentrations of firms' upstream industries. The developed measures show an upstream industry might be competitive and contain many suppliers (low industrial concentration) and yet be concentrated in a few countries (high geopolitical concentration) or a small geographical area (high geographical concentration), thus leaving the downstream firm vulnerable to geographi...

摘要：The increasing frequency of traffic accidents involving food delivery drivers has raised public concern about the safety of fast delivery services. In response, food delivery platforms have introduced two corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies to enhance drivers' road safety: One in which the platform assumes full responsibility for extending delivery times and another that empowers consumers to decide on extended delivery times. Additionally, policymakers are mandating that platform...

摘要：Do firms voluntarily disclosing emissions have lower levels of greenhouse gases in their in-house and outsourced operations? We examine this question using Scope 1 and upstream Scope 3 emission data reported by firms or estimated by S&P Trucost from 2002 to 2020. Our empirical results reveal that voluntary disclosing firms tend to have lower levels of internal emissions (i.e., Scope 1 emissions) and yet higher levels of external emissions from upstream suppliers (i.e., estimated upstream Scope...

摘要：Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms facilitate the direct exchange of goods, services, or financial transactions between individuals without the involvement of intermediaries. To maintain trust among their user bases, these platforms must implement stringent access controls to determine which users are eligible to participate in their digital marketplace. We argue that when a platform transitions from private to public ownership, it may be incentivized to strategically lower its access standards and ...

摘要：This paper investigates how a manufacturer's internal sourcing capability and government regulation influence the supplier's distribution strategy and the manufacturer's sourcing and capability investment decisions. We consider a supply chain consisting of a supplier that produces a critical component, an independent manufacturer that also has the capability to produce the component in-house, and a dependent manufacturer without such capability. We first consider a scenario in which the suppli...

摘要：We combine insights from information processing theory (IPT), supply chain resilience literature, and collaboration with a leading supply chain planning technology provider to study the effects of excess inventory (a buffering tactic) and usage of supply chain planning systems (SCPSs) (a bridging technology) on supply chain resilience. Utilizing the exogenous disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as the setting for quasi-natural experiments, we compare profit impact and time-to-recover a...

摘要：When a competitor enters a market, incumbent retail stores often adjust their product variety to avoid sales loss. However, no empirical evidence has been provided in the literature to justify the value of such product variety adjustments after a rival's entry. One difficulty is that the change in consumer demand due to rival's entry and changes in product variety simultaneously affect incumbents' sales. When changes in sales at incumbent stores are observed after rivals' entries, it is unclea...

摘要：We investigate the design of a waiting area of a service system where different types of customers seek different services, provided by designated servers. We examine two waiting room designs: The designated waiting room, where each server has its own designated waiting area, and the shared waiting room, where all customers are waiting together. In the designated waiting room design, customers observe the number of customers waiting for each service, whereas in the shared waiting room, custome...

摘要：The advance in e-commerce has provided firms with more options when designing their channel structures. The rise of beyond profit managerial doctrine has also added complexity to channel design. Extending the literature in distribution channels that focuses on for-profit firms, this paper develops a stylized model to examine the channel design problem for a socially responsible manufacturer who pursues a dual-purpose objective-the manufacturer values both profit and consumer surplus. We compar...

摘要：Crowdfunded Supply Chain Finance (SCF) represents a novel market design that transforms financial flows within the SCF paradigm. It enables crowd investors to serve as financers, lending vital working capital to suppliers facing liquidity problems. A distinctive feature of this market is the mandatory involvement of loan guarantors, which facilitates repeated interactions between investors and fundraisers, potentially fostering investor learning. To understand how such learning dynamics shape ...
