摘要：The opioid crisis has ravaged the United States, taking 69,000 lives in 2020, with prescription opioids accounting for 98% of opioid abuse. Although this epidemic is often considered a White public health crisis nationally, overdose deaths among people of color doubled from 2017 to 2019. As research has shown that the crisis was fueled by excessive supply from the pharmaceutical industry, several individual firms have received significant public criticism. However, we find evidence that the sc...

摘要：Consumers taking prescription drugs have limited ability to ascertain drug quality before taking the drug. After drug use, however, consumers frequently report their personal experiences with prescription drugs on one of the world's largest medical websites: WebMD. Drug reviews on WebMD are a potentially rich source of free-form text that can be utilized to inform firms, consumers, researchers, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the quality and safety of prescription drugs. Addit...

摘要：In this essay, our analysis takes important insights on diversity and inclusion from the behavioral literature but critically contextualizes them against the reality of humanitarian operations. Humanitarian operations are characterized by system immanent diversity, particularly between local and expatriate aid workers, who not only bring valuable different perspectives to the table but also differ along multiple dimensions of diversity into a so-called diversity faultline. Such a faultline, ho...

摘要：Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of present-day health and humanitarian logistics. Aid organizations advocate inclusive people-centered approaches to ensure that affected communities receive appropriate aid in an effective and equitable way. Tensions and even conflicts can arise if affected communities perceive the distribution of aid as inequitable. These perceptions are driven by people's so-called distributional preferences. These preferences are shaped by culture, social bo...

摘要：This article focuses on the social choice problem in which decisions are based on the utility of multiple stakeholder types. The sum of these utilities-Utilitarian welfare-is one of the most important objectives in solving the social choice problem. While it is the most efficient solution, maximizing Utilitarian welfare may lead to unfair outcomes. However, Encouraging a Utilitarian decision-maker to adopt a fair decision is challenging due to the associated efficiency loss. This article takes...

摘要：In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, numerous companies took action to advance racial equality. Several online platforms added a feature that identified minority-owned businesses to help users locate and, thus, support them. In this study, we investigate how reviews and ratings of restaurants in New York City change after being identified as Black-owned on an online platform. We find that the number of reviews increases, but the average rating decreases after restaurants are identif...

摘要：While we have seen some encouraging examples of firms that try to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices into their supply chains, progress has been frustratingly slow. We argue that a key impediment today and a potential enabler tomorrow-and thus an important subject of operations and supply chain management (OSCM) research-is the array of public policies that sets the rules of the game in OCSM. We differentiate three types of public policy regimes-laissez-faire, regulatory, a...

摘要：How do digital skills influence individuals' wages in contexts where caste-based and gender-based social stratification play an important role? We draw on sociology and economics literature to argue that the returns to digital skills in such contexts are shaped by caste and gender, and that digital skills empower disadvantaged individuals to increase their wages. Our empirical analysis of a rich micro-dataset on more than 20,000 individuals across all states in India from two waves of Indian H...

摘要：Native American-owned enterprises commonly use preference hiring to promote tribal self-sufficiency and include a population historically excluded from the workforce. Based on interviews with tribal casino executives, we describe how this socially important practice creates operational challenges and how some casinos have addressed these. First, we show that Native American population density and customer satisfaction at tribal casinos are negatively correlated. While managers acknowledge the ...

摘要：Scholars in management science and operations management (MS and OM) continue to make significant contributions to the notion of doing good with good operations. Impressively, the MS and OM literature has developed several pro-social sub-streams, such as healthcare operations, sustainability, and nonprofit operations; however, to the best of my knowledge, there are only two studies in the top MS and OM journals that mention LGBTQ+-related terms in their abstracts, keywords, or introductions (o...
