• Information sharing in a supply chain under ARMA demand AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper we study how the time-series structure of the demand process affects the value of information sharing in A supply chain. We consider a two-stage supply chain model in which a retailer serves auto-regressive moving-average (ARMA) demand and a manufacturer fills the retailer's orders. We characterize three types of situations based on the parameters of the demand process: (i) the manufacturer benefits from inferring demand. information from the retailer's orders; (ii) the manufactu...
• Research note:: Customer intimacy and cross-selling strategy AI翻译

  摘要：Better targeting opportunities and the increasing role of information-intensive environments have created new challenges for firms in obtaining customer information. Such information can help firms increase their profits through cross-selling opportunities. However, revealing personal preferences and contact information can raise the risks for customers when dealing with a firm. Consequently, some customers trade off the benefit and risks of revealing information. As the opportunity to obtain ...
• Detecting regime shifts: The causes of under- and overreaction AI翻译
  作者：Massey, C; Wu, G
  作者单位：Duke University; University of Chicago
  摘要：Many decision makers operate in dynamic environments in which markets, competitors, and technology change regularly. The ability to detect and respond to these regime shifts is critical for economic success. We conduct three experiments to test how effective individuals are at detecting such regime shifts. Specifically, we investigate when individuals are most likely to underreact to change and when they are most likely to overreact to it. We develop a system-neglect hypothesis: Individuals re...
• Research note: A dynamic programming approach to customer relationship pricing AI翻译
  作者：Lewis, M
  作者单位：State University System of Florida; University of Florida
  摘要：The practice of offering discounts to prospective customers represents a rudimentary form of using transaction history measures to customize the marketing mix. Furthermore, the proliferation of powerful, customer relationship management (CRM) systems is providing the data and the communications channels necessary to extend this type of pricing strategy into true dynamic marketing policies that adjust pricing as customer relationships evolve. In this paper, we describe a dynamic programming-bas...
• Order quantity and timing flexibility in supply chains: The role of demand characteristics AI翻译
  作者：Milner, JM; Kouvelis, P
  作者单位：University of Toronto; Washington University (WUSTL)
  摘要：We study how differences in product demand characteristics affect the strategic value of different types of supply chain flexibility for accurate response. We propose a single-period inventory modelling framework, with two ordering opportunities. The second order reflects updated demand information and potentially capitalizes on supply chain flexibility. We consider two complementary forms of flexibility: quantity flexibility in production and timing flexibility in scheduling. In this framewor...
• Individual experience and experience working together: Predicting learning rates from knowing who knows what and knowing how to work together AI翻译

  摘要：Learning by doing represents an important mechanism through which organizations prosper. Some firms, however, learn from their experience at a dramatic rate, while other firms exhibit very little learning at all. Three factors have been identified that affect the rate at which firms learn: (a) the proficiency of individual workers, (b) the ability of firm members to leverage knowledge accumulated by others, and (c) the capacity for coordinated activity inside the organization. Each factor vari...
• Things change: Dynamic resource constraints and system-dependent selection in the evolution of organizational populations AI翻译
  作者：Lomi, A; Larsen, ER; Freeman, JH
  作者单位：University of Bologna; City St Georges, University of London; University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：An extensive empirical literature has demonstrated the existence of. density-dependent selection in organizational vital rates. This research has also shown that historical trajectories followed by organizational populations only partly conform to the predictions of the original model. Inconsistencies with the model's predictions prompt a series of questions: Why do organizational populations suddenly, collapse after reaching a peak? Why do organizational populations oscillate after collapsing...
• Treatment errors in healthcare: A safety climate approach AI翻译
  作者：Naveh, E; Katz-Navon, T; Stern, Z

  摘要：Recent reports on patient safety in healthcare point to the high frequency of treatment errors. This study suggests a new theory of safety climate and brings empirical evidence that helps explain the occurrence of treatment errors. Four safety climate dimensions have been identified. They include employee perceptions of the suitability of the organization's safety procedures for their daily work, employee perceptions of the frequency and the clarity of the safety information distributed by the...
• Global village or cyber-balkans? Modeling and measuring the integration of electronic communities AI翻译

  摘要：Information technology can link geographically separated people and help them locate interesting or useful resources. These attributes have the potential to bridge gaps and unite communities. Paradoxically, they also have the potential to fragment interaction and divide groups. Advances in technology can make it easier for people to spend more time on special interests and to screen out unwanted contact. Geographic boundaries can thus be supplanted by boundaries on other dimensions. This paper...
• Probabilistic inversion of expert judgments in the quantification of model uncertainty AI翻译
  作者：Kraan, B; Bedford, T
  作者单位：Delft University of Technology; University of Strathclyde
  摘要：Expert judgment is, frequently used to assess parameter values of quantitative management science models, particularly in decision-making contexts. Experts can, however, only be expected to assess observable quantities, not abstract model parameters. This means that we need a method for translating expert assessed uncertainties on model outputs into uncertainties on model parameter values. This process is called probabilistic inversion. The probability distribution on model parameters obtained...
