摘要：Retailers are often short on capacity, so a logical assumption would be that retailers could improve their profits by acquiring more. In this study, we show that this is not necessarily true, because retailer's capacity has a strategic role in channel distribution. Specifically, we consider a setting with multiple suppliers and a common retailer. Our analysis reveals that, first, when the retailer's capacity is limited, its suppliers will compete head-to-head for the retailer's capacity, there...

摘要：We consider a high-technology supply chain wherein a manufacturer is sourcing a new component from a monopolistic supplier who has limited production capacity. We focus on a setting wherein the manufacturer has decided to adopt the component but has not introduced the end product to the market and the manufacturer's task is to negotiate with the supplier for the procurement price before a deadline. The only uncertainty is the number of manufacturers adopting this component, which determines th...

摘要：Angel investors provide a unique role in startup entities: in addition to providing financing, they also provide expertise and make critical operational and managerial decisions. As a result, a startup not only seeks funding from its angel investor, but also strives to ensure that their expertise promotes entrepreneurial success. This study formalizes a model of optimal equity sharing with angel investors in light of the facts that (i) they have private information about their expertise, (ii) ...

摘要：Our study aims to deepen the understanding of personalized digital nudges by evaluating their effects on energy-saving behavior. We conducted a field experiment with a leading smart metering company in South Korea to investigate whether customers save more energy when a personalized goal and feedback are provided, and how the impacts of nudges vary according to the types of misperception. Specifically, we focused on the behavior of customers who underestimate or overestimate their past electri...

摘要：Many publishers of online display advertising sell their ad resources through event-based auctions in the spot market. Such a way of selling lacks a holistic view of the publisher's ad resource and thus suffers from a well-recognized drawback: the publisher's revenue is often not maximized, particularly due to users' dynamic ad clicking behavior and advertisers' budget constraints. In this study, we propose a planning approach for ad publishers to better allocate their ad resources. Specifical...

摘要：We empirically investigate the effects of a borrower's choice of auction-based pricing mechanisms and her social characteristics on listing outcomes and loan performance in online lending. Analyzing data from a leading online lending platform, we find that the borrower's choice of borrower pricing mechanism and being affiliated with a group are both associated with higher funding probability; thus, the lenders may interpret them as positive signals of creditworthiness of the borrower. However,...

摘要：Contests have long existed to source ideas and solutions. The emergence of crowdsourcing contest platforms greatly reduces the costs and broadens the reach of running contests by facilitating access to a large pool of labor, making contests a cost-efficient approach to procure ideas/solutions even for employers of limited resources. As a result, the use of contests surges and there is a flux of small-to-medium size contests to these platforms. This study focuses on these new waves of small-to-...

摘要：Focal firms are struggling to improve their environmental performance for several reasons, including a scarcity of internal and external environmental resources. This study suggests that coopetition provides a boost to a focal firm's environmental performance. In particular, this research theorizes that a coopetitor firm's environmental performance has a spillover effect on a focal firm's environmental performance. This study also investigates the moderating role of a focal firm's financial sl...

摘要：With supply chains becoming increasingly extended, the uncertainties in the upstream production process can greatly affect the material flows that aim toward meeting the uncertain demands at the downstream. We analyze a two-location system in which the upstream production facility experiences random capacities and the downstream store faces random demands. Different from the widely used approach that seeks the decomposition of the profit function based on the echelon inventories, our approach ...
