摘要：Given the promise of three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, some innovative consumer goods companies have started to experiment with such a technology for on-demand production. In this study, we consider two adoption cases of 3D printing in a dual-channel (i.e., online and in-store) retail setting, and evaluate its impact on a firm's product offering, pricing, and inventory decisions. Our analysis uncovers the following effects of 3D printing. First, 3D printing...

摘要：In the context of Industry 4.0, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays an increasingly important role in firm risk management. To mitigate risk and improve operational productivity, artificial intelligence (AI), a key disruptive technology, has been increasingly employed in many industries. In this study, we examine the relationship between CSR and idiosyncratic risk (IR) as moderated by AI innovation and operational efficiency based on data from 1614 firms in China during the period from...

摘要：Fairness is a natural concern when model-based decisions affect human beings. In personnel-management decisions, employees' perceptions of fairness depend both upon the decision processes as well as the resulting outcomes. Acting as a key part of decision processes, operational models often emphasize equality, or sameness, of outcomes among individuals. Fair outcomes, as a manifestation of distributive justice, involve balancing two competing aspects: equality and equity. Equity, in opposition...

摘要：We consider an agricultural supply chain consisting of a capital-constrained smallholder farmer and an intermediary platform. The smallholder farmer sells agricultural products through the intermediary platform but lacks financial resources for planting. In addition to traditional bank financing (provided by a bank), the creditworthy intermediary platform can provide loans directly to the farmer (known as direct financing) or serve as a guarantor if the farmer's creditworthiness is insufficien...

摘要：In this paper, we study the effectiveness of incentives on delivery service time slot choices. In particular, we focus on the use of green labels that specify time slots as environmentally friendly and that intrinsically motivate customers to choose a specific delivery time slot in lieu of price incentives based on extrinsic motivation. We argue that this is important since green labels' intrinsic nature affects costumer choice in fundamentally different ways than price incentives. We conduct ...

摘要：US coal-fired generating capacity has shed nearly 25% of its footprint between 2011 and 2018. Multiple factors-regulation, natural gas prices, renewable energy adoption, and environmental activism-have each been lauded by various stakeholders for this trend. To improve our understanding of this environmental technology transition, it is important to determine the extent to which each of these factors has accelerated coal unit retirements. We do so in this study through an accelerated failure t...

摘要：Research suggests that increased reliance on digital sources (e.g., blogs, social media, online forums) exhibited by the emerging millennial workforce may affect procurement decisions. These arguments contend with studies which indicate that organizational buyers rely on decision shortcuts (e.g., brand, loyalty, and peer opinions) to mitigate risk or to simplify purchase decisions. One can argue that buyers gain more information from digital sources, which may attenuate the role of these short...

摘要：Studies show that merchants are heterogeneous in profitability from offering promotions on third-party-online-promotion marketplaces who often charge a single commission rate. Using a data analytics system, a marketplace can classify merchants according to their heterogeneous characteristics and offer merchant-type specific commission rates. In this study, we construct a game-theoretic model consisting a marketplace with two types of merchants who have heterogeneous proportion of consumers who...

摘要：Conceptualized as a meta-construct, operations-related structural flux (ORSF) refers to appointments and exits-voluntary or involuntary-of operations-related executives, to and from the firm. This research leverages the contingency theory perspective to show that ORSF's influence on firm performance is contingent on contextual circumstances of such executive changes, specifically, appointments and exits-voluntary or involuntary. Examining executive turnover data from North American public firm...
