摘要：This study examines the relationship between R&D expenditures and product-market, process-cost, and technological innovation/disruption-related uncertainties. For this purpose, the product-market, process-cost, and technological innovation related uncertainties are linked to earnings component volatilities. Specifically, product-market uncertainty is measured by future sales volatility; process-cost uncertainty by future cost of sales volatility; and technological innovation uncertainty by fut...

摘要：In this study, we examine the effect of the differences in both sales ability and reservation utility on the design of the pricing scheme and compensation contract under asymmetric information. Heterogeneity with ability-dependent reservation utility generates conflicted screening and pooling effects that preclude separating and pooling equilibria, respectively; with which agents may work harder under either centralized or delegated pricing scheme than if they were homogeneous and, in certain ...

摘要：The article Continuity of Care and Risk of Readmission: An Investigation into the Healthcare Journey of Heart Failure Patients won the 2020 Ralph Gomory Best Industry Studies Paper Award. This award recognizes the valuable contributions provided by academic research that is anchored in a deep understanding of industries. In this article, I discuss how my interactions with practitioners challenged me and ultimately shaped many critical aspects of the awarded study.

摘要：Over the years, online retailers have increasingly embraced live chat to improve customer service and facilitate transactions. We examine how online sellers' use of live chat influences their online traffic conversion into sales. Like brick-and-mortar stores, a fundamental task for online stores is to convert traffic into purchases, an important problem in retail service operations management. We argue that live chat can increase online sales conversion by performing the functions of informing...

摘要：Inventory optimization approaches typically optimize steady-state performance, but do not consider the transition of an initial state to the optimized state. In this study, we address this transition. Our research is motivated by a company that implemented an improved inventory policy for its spare parts division. The improved policy suggested new base stock levels for the majority of the parts. For parts with increased base stock levels, inventory increases were realized after the part lead t...

摘要：The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has introduced several Episode-based Payment Models. Episodes are combinations of pre-acute, acute, and post-acute services for particular medical conditions. During the year, CMS pays hospitals according to historical norms. At the end of the year, these payments are reconciled against a target price, resulting in either a gain or a loss for the hospital. The hospital may also realize gains or losses from its internal operations. It may inc...

摘要：In this study, as an alternative to the surplus utility, we propose a performance-price-ratio (PPR) utility and specialize the customer choice model with a PPR maximization criterion. With the PPR-based choice model, we investigate a pricing game between retailers in a competitive market. Through transferring the decision variable from price to performance-price ratio, the first-order condition of the game becomes a linear equation system, which enables us to develop a closed-form equilibrium ...

摘要：The detection of environmental violators is critical to the long-term adoption of sustainability in supply chain management. However, there exist manufacturing facilities that report false environmental monitoring data, thereby seriously hampering governments' efforts to identify true offenders and to properly intervene. We integrate waste gas data from the world's largest Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) with a publicly available Violation and Punishment Dataset (VPD) to build pre...
