摘要：Coupon promotions have been increasingly used with the development of electronic commerce technologies. The post-promotion effects of coupon promotions have been mixed. Using a randomly selected customer sample at a firm that operates a large online classified ads website, we examine the exposure, redemption, and spillover effects of coupon promotions. We find a negative exposure effect and a positive redemption effect. For customers who received coupons but did not redeem them (i.e., exposure...

摘要：The enforcement of ever-stringent regulatory requirements capping emission limits is challenging the traditional operations of various transportation sectors. In maritime transportation, the recent regulation tightening fuel sulfur limits to 0.50%, known as the IMO 2020, has been enforced. There is a flurry of activities by ocean carriers to equip their vessels to comply with this regulation. Although the technical conditions are clear, investment decisions are hard to make due to inevitable u...

摘要：This paper studies the interaction between two key quality management decisions-input conformance quality and inspection policy-and related wholesale and retail prices in a two echelon supply chain. Market demand depends on the retail price as well as the end-product conformance quality, which itself depends on the input quality and the inspection scheme. Consistent with previous empirical findings in the literature, we show that an increase in quality does not always result in higher prices f...

摘要：The extreme demand volatility caused by corona virus 2019 (COVID-19) overwhelmed most preemptive measures enacted by firms to mitigate disruptions in their supply chains. This led to the rapid implementation of reactive measures to provide business continuity. The operations and supply chain management literature has grouped these reactive techniques into those that involve the reconfiguration of firm resources and those that involve changes to its decision-making processes. Unfortunately, lit...

摘要：We consider a two-stage project supply chain with a downstream project firm producing an engineer-to-order (ETO) complex product or a make-to-order (MTO), low-volume, customized industrial product as a project, and an upstream contract supplier supplying a key material to the project. The project faces two uncertainties: project activity time uncertainty and material consumption uncertainty, which may be positively or negatively correlated. In anticipation of these uncertainties, the project f...

摘要：When scheduling the distribution of ordered items from a warehouse to customers, the transportation planning is generally done first and serves as input for planning warehouse operations. Such a sequential approach can lead to substantial inefficiencies when the customer deliveries are restricted by time windows, and the warehouse has limited resources available (both order pickers and space in the staging area). This paper studies the trade-offs between warehouse operations and transportation...

摘要：As financial institutions increasingly offer robo-advisors (RAs) as a service, the empirical evidence on their performance, particularly during market downturns, remains limited. We study the impact of using RAs on investment performance during the 2020 financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. We obtain daily portfolio and transaction data of investors on an online investment platform. Besides making investment decisions by themselves, investors can also leverage an RA system o...

摘要：One of the major challenges for humanitarian organizations in response planning is dealing with the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty in disaster situations. The available information that comes from different sources in postdisaster settings may involve missing elements and inconsistencies, which can hamper effective humanitarian decision-making. In this paper, we propose a new methodological framework based on graph clustering and stochastic optimization to support humanitarian decision-mak...

摘要：There has been extensive research on the strategic choice between supply chain centralization and decentralization. However, most research assumes complete centralization or complete decentralization but omits the commonly adopted supply chain structure of partial centralization. With partial centralization, a firm owns a portion, but not all, of its partner. To help fill this research gap, in this paper, we make a major contribution by explicitly analyzing partial centralization in a supply c...
