摘要：The unprecedented scale of the Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenge for health supply chains around the world. Many international humanitarian organizations have had to ensure the continuity of their already complex development programs, while addressing their supply chain disruptions linked to the pandemic. Process modularity has frequently been advocated as a strategy to mitigate such disruptions, although empirical evidence regarding its impact on supply chain responsiveness and what mode...

摘要：Product evaluation is an essential business process, and digital innovation has made it possible for companies to immediately process available information. We develop a model where a company continuously assesses information that follows a doubly stochastic Poisson process with a mean-reverting and stochastic intensity. Accordingly, the company faces a two-dimensional optimal stopping problem in which the company continues to evaluate the product if and only if the product reputation and info...

摘要：Sharing economy platforms are pressed to rapidly grow user bases at the early stage by aggressively targeting potential users through competitive actions. Due to the volatile nature of the sharing economy and its disruption to industry norms, these platforms encounter legitimacy challenges that impede user base growth. This paper integrates competitive repertoire and institutional legitimacy theories to develop a research model that explains early-stage user base development in the sharing eco...

摘要：In 2021, access to clean drinking water was still a luxury for millions of people worldwide. Building new water projects, such as handpumps and small piped systems, is the primary operational response by many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to bring people their first access to clean water in rural areas of developing countries. Based on knowledge gained from our collaboration with a local NGO and an international NGO and field research in Ethiopia, our research studies where to build new...

摘要：Nowadays, a transportation station has the possibility to provide its potential passengers with information regarding the arrival times of the successively arriving facilities, the congestion in the station and the space availability of future facilities. Such information influences the behavior of the passengers who think strategically and consequently the throughput and the welfare that are generated by the system. In the present work, we consider a general model of a transportation station ...

摘要：Traditionally, manufacturer encroachment is investigated under an integrated organizational structure where online business decisions are made at the whole firm level. However, with the establishment of a specific e-commerce division, the manufacturer has the flexibility to delegate the decision-making of the online business to its e-commerce division to maximize the online revenue under a decentralized structure. We study manufacturer encroachment in a supply chain, where a manufacturer sells...

摘要：What makes a technology valuable? Characterizing the value as the degree of impact on subsequent technology development and focusing on the rareness as a composite measure of novelty and conventionality representing the relative position of a technology in a technology space, we advance a theory on the relationship between the rareness and value of a technology as well as the moderating role of search basis in shaping the relationship. We build our theory exploiting the fundamental trade-off b...

摘要：Different versions of mobile operating systems or shopping apps enable different functionalities and information flows, thus creating various mobile shopping environments. In general, up-to-date versions provide better information flows and richer functionalities. However, mobile operating systems and shopping apps affect consumer behavior through different mechanisms. An up-to-date mobile operating system reduces the system response time, while an up-to-date shopping app improves algorithms f...

摘要：Auto-delivery is a subscription model widely employed in supply chains, whereby a supplier delivers products to a buyer (or multiple buyers) according to the buyer's choice of a constant shipping quantity to be delivered at prescheduled dates. The buyer enjoys a discount for the auto-delivery orders and other benefits, including free subscription and cancellation. Because these benefits seem to all accrue to the buyer at the supplier's expense, the rationale for the supplier's decision to offe...

摘要：This paper proposes price cannibalization as a growth strategy despite prior findings that suggests avoiding it. We focus on a multiclass, capacity-constrained pricing problem in which each of the product classes has a price range. Specifically, we examine the effects of price range overlaps and introduce it as a revenue-maximizing pricing strategy. Price cannibalization happens when sales in some product classes decrease due to the existence of overlaps between the price ranges. We employ a m...
