• Queueing with Negative Network Effects AI翻译
  作者：Hassin, Refael; Meilijson, Isaac; Perlman, Yael

  摘要：Problem definition: In a Markovian queueing system with strategic customers, a reward is gained from completing service, and a loss is incurred while waiting to be served. The common assumption in the queueing literature is that such loss is a function of the customer's waiting time. This paper takes a different and novel approach in that it models the customer's loss incurred because of negative network effects while waiting with others, which increases as the exposure to others increases. Me...
• Offering Memories to Sell Goods? Pricing and Welfare Implications of Experiential Retail AI翻译
  作者：Mutlu, Nevin; El-Amine, Hadi; Sahin, Ozge

  摘要：Problem definition: In an environment where consumers' rising valuation of Instagrammable memories drives their spending from products to experiences, retailers offer experiences to attract consumers back to their stores. Yet, it is not obvious under which settings consumers can benefit from these experiences and raise retailers' profits.Methodology/results: We use a random utility model for consumer choice in both monopoly and duopoly settings. For the latter, we pose a game-theoretic model t...

  摘要：Problem definition: Firms often delay the decision to recall faulty medical devices long after they become aware of a defect, thereby putting public safety at height-ened risk. However, the factors contributing to these delays are not well-understood. To help address this gap, we examine whether and how CEO stock ownership influences the speed with which faulty medical devices are recalled and whether this influence varies with recall severity. We then examine whether the stock market penalize...
• Product Recalls and Supply Base Innovation AI翻译

  摘要：Problem definition: Suppliers are increasingly involved in innovation activities that contribute to a firm's product quality and introduce risks to firms' quality control, leading to quality failures and recalls. This quality trade-off suggests the possibility of a nonlinear relationship between supplier innovation and product recalls, which is the focus of this research. Recall literature focuses on firms' internal drivers of recalls, whereas anecdotal evidence increasingly points to the role...
• Managing Operations of a Hog Farm Facing Volatile Markets: Inventory and Selling Strategies AI翻译
  作者：Kouvelis, Panos; Liu, Ye; Qiu, Yunzhe; Turcic, Danko

  摘要：Problem definition: We study a dynamic finishing-stage planning problem of a pork producer who at the beginning of each week gets to see how many market-ready hogs she has available for sale and the current market prices. Then, she must decide which hogs to sell to a meatpacker and on the open market and which hogs to hold until the following week. The farmer is contracted to deliver a fixed quantity of hogs to the meatpacker each week priced according to a contractually predetermined market i...
• How Advance Sales Can Reduce Profits: When to Buy, When to Sell, and What Price to Charge AI翻译
  作者：Glazer, Amihai; Hassin, Refael; Nowik, Irit

  摘要：Problem definition: Consider consumers who prefer to consume a good later rather than earlier. If the price is constant, then we would expect consumers to wait to buy the good. That does not hold if consumers are concerned that others will buy the good early, so that a shortage will later occur. When will consumers arrive when they fear a shortage? What is the profit-maximizing policy of a monopolist? Might the firm lose profits by offering advance sales? The timing of consumer arrivals is muc...
• Taming the Long Tail: The Gambler's Fallacy in Intermittent Demand Management AI翻译
  作者：Bi, Sheng; He, Long; Teo, Chung Piaw
  作者单位：Shanghai University of Finance & Economics; George Washington University; National University of Singapore
  摘要：Problem definition: Long tail products with intermittent demand often tie up valuable warehouse space and capital investment for many companies. Furthermore, the paucity of demand data poses additional challenges for model estimation and performance evaluation. Traditional inventory solutions are not designed for products with intermittent demand. In this paper, we propose a new framework to optimize the choice of replenishment timing and replenishment quantity for managing the inventory metri...
• Improving the Quality of In-Kind Donations: A Field Experiment AI翻译
  作者：Pacheco, Sindy De La Torre; Eftekhar, Mahyar; Wu, Chao
  作者单位：Arizona State University; Arizona State University-Tempe
  摘要：Problem definition: Although in-kind donations contribute to charity's triple bottom line (i.e., generating additional revenue for the charity, contributing to social welfare, and reducing environmental waste through rechanneling used items), inappropriate material donations impose additional costs to sort, process, or discard them. Minimizing the amount of undesired in-kind donations, however, is a challenge given charities' sensitive relationship with their donors. This paper examines the ef...
• Sales Information Transparency and Trust in Repeated Vertical Relationships AI翻译
  作者：Shamir, Noam; Yehezkel, Yaron
  作者单位：Tel Aviv University
  摘要：Problem definition: We study a repeated interaction between a manufacturer and a retailer, where the retailer may share with the manufacturer past sales information. In our model, such information cannot improve the latter's predictive capabilities of future demand, but it does allow him to infer past demand. Academic/practical relevance: Our main research questions are under what conditions the retailer and the manufacturer benefit from sharing such past sales information and how dynamic inte...
• Managing Customer Search: Assortment Planning for a Subscription Box Service AI翻译
  作者：Bernstein, Fernando; Guo, Yuan
  作者单位：Duke University
  摘要：Problem definition: This paper focuses on subscription box services in which a provider selects the assortment of products to include in the box by taking into account the customer's preferences. Customers interested in purchasing a product choose between engaging in active search (i.e., visit physical stores) or subscribing to a box delivery service. We study the subscription box company's problem of selecting the optimal contents of the box to maximize expected revenue (by driving demand fro...
