  摘要：Innovation contests within firms offer the potential to tap latent employee expertise across the organization and expand innovation beyond the core R&D teams. Still, firms undertaking an internal contest, unlike the more commonly studied external contests, incur significant opportunity costs when employees divert their efforts toward the contest (and away from their routine work). Managing this key challenge forms the focus of the current study, with the overarching question being How should f...
• Mitigating behavioral supply risk under dual sourcing: Evidence from an order allocation game AI翻译

  摘要：We consider an order allocation game in which a manufacturer sources from two suppliers due to supply capacity limitations and allocates uneven orders to take advantage of incremental quantity discount. Laboratory experiments are conducted to examine empirical decisions by all three members in this dual sourcing channel. We observe that the supplier who receives large orders mostly agrees to supply; however, the supplier who receives small orders frequently refuses to supply. Consequently, the...
• Promoting electric vehicles: Reducing charging inconvenience and price via station and consumer subsidies AI翻译

  摘要：Environmental and energy independence concerns lead to government subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs). Operational decisions for a government are (i) to incentivize EV ownership by a direct consumer subsidy, a station subsidy that reduces charging inconvenience, or by both subsidies; and (ii) to minimize subsidy expenditure or to maximize EV adoption level. We model the interactions between the government and the charging supplier as a Stackelberg game and study the optimal structure of subs...
• Robust stock assortment and cutting under defects in automotive glass production AI翻译

  摘要：We address an assortment-and-cutting problem arising in the glass industry. The objective is to provide minimum waste solutions that are robust against such raw material imperfections as those possibly occurring with float glass production technology. The stochastic realization of defects is modeled as a spatial Poisson point process. A mixed integer program in the classical vein of robust optimization is presented and tested on data taken from a real plant application. Defective final product...
• Impact of self-service technology in designing a service delivery system AI翻译

  摘要：Self-service technologies (SSTs) have been widely adopted in industries that require the delivery of physical products by services, in which consumers evaluate a product for both the product value and the service value. A typical service delivery system usually involves sales agents and/or self-service technologies, for example, online services and kiosks, to serve consumers by a coproduction process. In other words, both the sales agent (or self-service machine) and the consumer should exert ...
• Bayesian dithering for learning: Asymptotically optimal policies in dynamic pricing AI翻译

  摘要：We consider a dynamic pricing and learning problem where a seller prices multiple products and learns from sales data about unknown demand. We study the parametric demand model in a Bayesian setting. To avoid the classical problem of incomplete learning, we propose dithering policies under which prices are probabilistically selected in a neighborhood surrounding the myopic optimal price. By analyzing the effect of dithering in facilitating learning, we establish regret upper bounds for three t...
• Putting analytics into action in care coordination research: Emerging issues and potential solutions AI翻译

  摘要：Care coordination involves shaping patient care activities and sharing information among all participants concerned with a patient's care to achieve safe and effective care. The objectives of care coordination are to promote sharing of patients' clinical information, keep patients and families informed, and manage effective referrals and care transitions. Failures in care coordination account for a large amount of waste per year in the United States. Many innovative healthcare organizations ha...
• Vessel sharing and its impact on maritime operations and carbon emissions AI翻译

  摘要：The shipping industry touches approximately 90% of all international trade, producing roughly one billion tons of greenhouse gases each year. Changes in the operations and coordination of global-shipping vessels can have a substantial impact on vessel's carbon emissions, but these efforts need to fulfill the service expectation of individual firms receiving consignments. We examine the associated gains (or losses) in operational efficiencies and environmental benefits (if there are any) from v...

• E-commerce supply chains with considerations of cyber-security: Should governments play a role? AI翻译
  作者：Luo, Suyuan; Choi, Tsan-Ming
  作者单位：Shenzhen University; National Taiwan University
  摘要：E-commerce supply chains and their members face risks from cyber-attacks. Consumers who purchase goods online also risk having their private information stolen. Thus, businesses are investing to improve cyber-security at a nontrivial cost. In this paper, we conduct a Stackelberg game-theoretical analysis. In the basic model, we first derive the equilibrium pricing and cyber-security level decisions in the e-commerce supply chain. Based on real-world practices, we then explore whether governmen...
