摘要：In developing economies, nanostores (i.e., small independent neighborhood stores) in urban and rural areas face different infrastructural, operational, and financial challenges. How can urban nanostores compete with supermarket chains as they enter the market? How can rural nanostores provide more services at affordable prices to sustain their operations? By developing innovative business models enabled by new technologies such as smartphones, mobile payments, and solar panels, we show how urb...

摘要：The Triple-A supply chain (Lee 2004) has become one of the most influential concepts for practitioners and researchers in supply chain management. It stipulates that supply chains should strive to improve along the dimensions of agility, adaptability, and alignment, as opposed to focusing exclusively on cost and efficiency improvements. While various strategies have since been adopted across different industries to foster the Triple-A, the digitalization movement poses both new challenges and ...

摘要：The successful launch of an innovative product or service is driven by an unexplored market opportunity or a technological breakthrough. Oftentimes, however, firms lack the necessary resource capabilities to exploit new market opportunities; alternately, markets may not exist for firms to successfully profit from technological breakthroughs. In other words, firms suffer from performance gaps between their market opportunities and their resource capabilities. In this study, we organize the grow...

摘要：What are the attributes of the best-performing supply chains? According to Lee (2004), the best supply chains are agile, adaptable, and ensure the interests of all participating companies stay aligned, that is, The Triple-A framework. Fifteen years later, we find global supply chains exposed, with an increasing frequency and alarming severity, to low probability disruptive shocks. We revisit the question of the current attributes of best-performing supply chains in a highly uncertain and risk ...

摘要：In his 2004 article, Professor Hau Lee argues that the best supply chains are not only fast and cost-effective but also agile, adaptable, and aligned. The concept of triple-A supply chains has been extensively studied in academic and trade publications and integrated into numerous operations and supply chain management curricula. It has also influenced the management approach of leaders around the world. Yet since the triple-A concept was first developed, supply chains have become increasingly...

摘要：Firms increasingly need to manage uncertainty and become more agile and adaptable. This study considers how a multi-product firm can use its product mix, resource capacity allocation, and pricing decisions to manage challenges such as structural economic shifts or changes in consumers' willingness-to-pay. Firms that seek to develop and use such a product line face a fundamental trade-off. On the one hand, multiple products compete for the demand externally (i.e., cannibalization effects), as w...
