  摘要：We postulate that the study of diversity, equity, and inclusion can deepen and add relevance to research in operations management (OM). Specifically, the role of gender is little studied in the existing OM literature-to the detriment of the field. This article considers OM issues by employing the theories, data, and topics from the field of Women's Studies. Our findings indicate that incorporating viewpoints from Women's Studies can change what is considered research, improve the accuracy of O...

  摘要：Critical infrastructures in many countries face the problem of aging and, thus, require significant upgrades to continue serving their purpose for the next few decades, especially in the face of extreme weather events caused by global climate change. Given the urgent need for such improvements and the substantial funding gaps being experienced, prioritizing investments in critical infrastructures is a challenging task for governments. Furthermore, the need to assure equitable solutions, as wel...

  摘要：Economic sanctions and consumer boycotts are common tools to punish organizations for undesirable behavior and attempt to coerce them to change their actions. However, these tools occasionally spill over beyond the intended recipients and affect guiltless supply chain members, jeopardizing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in supply chains. This study identifies four channels through which sanctions and boycotts propagate through supply chains. In particular, supply chain memb...

  摘要：We investigate the presence of health disparities in emergency department (ED) disposition decisions and if crowding levels might have an exacerbating role. Using data from a large, academic ED, we find statistically significant associations between ED disposition decisions and patient sex, race, as well as ethnicity, with male, Caucasian, and non-Hispanic patients being more likely to be admitted to the hospital compared with, respectively, female, African-American, and Hispanic patients. In ...
• Rainbow Operations: Let's Add LGBTQ plus Colors to Doing Good with Good Operations AI翻译
  作者：Arora, Priyank
  作者单位：University of South Carolina System; University of South Carolina Columbia
  摘要：Scholars in management science and operations management (MS and OM) continue to make significant contributions to the notion of doing good with good operations. Impressively, the MS and OM literature has developed several pro-social sub-streams, such as healthcare operations, sustainability, and nonprofit operations; however, to the best of my knowledge, there are only two studies in the top MS and OM journals that mention LGBTQ+-related terms in their abstracts, keywords, or introductions (o...
• The Relative Indirect Effects of Technology Bias and Implicit Bias on Racial Disparity in Service Delivery and Sepsis Mortality AI翻译
  作者：Wang, Qi; Carson, Anita L.; Zheng, Sarah
  作者单位：Boston University; University of Victoria
  摘要：Racism at the individual and societal levels has been identified as a cause of disparity in healthcare outcomes in the United States but reducing disparity has been slow. This study disentangles the relative effects of two types of racism on inpatient service delivery and hospital mortality: technology bias and implicit bias. Drawing on clinical data from intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis, we use propensity score matching to balance groups of White and nonwhite patients and run a ...

  摘要：How do digital skills influence individuals' wages in contexts where caste-based and gender-based social stratification play an important role? We draw on sociology and economics literature to argue that the returns to digital skills in such contexts are shaped by caste and gender, and that digital skills empower disadvantaged individuals to increase their wages. Our empirical analysis of a rich micro-dataset on more than 20,000 individuals across all states in India from two waves of Indian H...
• Hiring Preference and Operational Complexity for Tribal Enterprises AI翻译
  作者：Ornelas, Jacob; Slaugh, Vincent W.; Anderson, Christopher K.
  作者单位：Cornell University
  摘要：Native American-owned enterprises commonly use preference hiring to promote tribal self-sufficiency and include a population historically excluded from the workforce. Based on interviews with tribal casino executives, we describe how this socially important practice creates operational challenges and how some casinos have addressed these. First, we show that Native American population density and customer satisfaction at tribal casinos are negatively correlated. While managers acknowledge the ...

  摘要：This article provides an evidence-based discussion of an ongoing effort within the operations of hunger relief organizations to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by sourcing and distributing more culturally relevant food. Through nearly 100 interviews with food bank personnel in diverse roles (from partner agency relations to executives) representing various regions of the United States, we explore the challenges faced by different functional units within the organization. These i...

  摘要：Prolonged emergency department (ED) length of stay (LOS) is associated with detrimental effects on patient care quality and outcomes. There is evidence that certain groups of patients experience longer LOS based on their gender or race, especially with regard to the part of LOS that is attributable to waiting to be seen by a clinician. This work tackles the patient prioritization and placement aspects of ED operations with the goal of improving throughput and wait time in a fair, equitable way...
