摘要：Online retailers have exposed their consumers to an increase of deceptive counterfeit products provided by third-party marketplace sellers. Although leading online retailers commonly seek to enhance service transparency to consumers by providing fulfillment service information, such as inventory ownership (i.e., sold by) and order fulfillment (i.e., shipped by), their impact remains poorly understood, particularly in the context of when consumers receive deceptive counterfeit products. Drawing...

摘要：We develop a model for a regional decision-maker to analyze the requirement of medical equipment capacity in the early stages of a spread of infections. We use the model to propose and evaluate ways to manage limited equipment capacity. Early-stage infection growth is captured by a stochastic differential equation (SDE) and is part of a two-period community spread and shutdown model. We use the running-maximum process of a geometric Brownian motion to develop a performance metric, probability ...

摘要：The unprecedented scale of the Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenge for health supply chains around the world. Many international humanitarian organizations have had to ensure the continuity of their already complex development programs, while addressing their supply chain disruptions linked to the pandemic. Process modularity has frequently been advocated as a strategy to mitigate such disruptions, although empirical evidence regarding its impact on supply chain responsiveness and what mode...

摘要：While global supply chains provide firms with a buffer against local shocks, they expose firms to multiregional risks. The COVID-19 pandemic and its differential impact on different regions in the world offer an opportunity to explore these effects. We investigate the multiregional supply chain risk by focusing on credit risk measured by abnormal credit default swaps (CDS) spreads and US-China supply chain networks. Our evidence shows that local risks propagate through global supply chains to ...

摘要：Researchers have increasingly turned to crowdfunding platforms to gain insights into entrepreneurial activity and dynamics. While previous studies have explored various factors influencing crowdfunding success, such as technology, communication, and marketing strategies, the role of visual elements that can be automatically extracted from images has received less attention. This is surprising, considering that crowdfunding platforms emphasize the importance of attention-grabbing and high-resol...

摘要：Large-scale platforms (LSPs) with valuation and awareness advantages have enabled competing small-scale platforms (SSPs) to be embedded in their platforms. This compatibility strategy creates a new channel, that is, the compatible channel, through which customers can purchase services from SSPs via the LSPs. Additionally, numerous platforms have been introducing add-on services to enhance their profitability. In this study, we develop stylized game models to characterize the interaction betwee...

摘要：It is important for firms to repurpose production responsively during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, to seize the market opportunity and create social value. However, occupational health and safety (OHS) can also be a concern in a crisis, and adherence to OHS management systems can undermine a firm's responsiveness in repurposing decision making. We adopt the capability-rigidity lens to construct a connection between OHS management standards (i.e., OHSAS 18001) and firms' adaptation r...

摘要：This paper examines the effect of product substitutability on the equilibrium profits in a distribution channel of two symmetric manufacturers selling substitutable products to consumers through a nonexclusive retailer. Conventional wisdom suggests that when the products are more substitutable, the retailer will be better off while the manufacturers will be worse off, owing to the dominance of the competition effect of substitutability. In this work, we identify the hitherto neglected demand e...

摘要：Climate change is a major global risk and a key driver for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Yet, firms' internal emissions reduction may create a leakage leading to higher emissions in the supply chain. The related literature suggests that the pollution-haven hypothesis explains such emissions leakage. In contrast, we explore an alternative reason for supply chain leakage, which is related to optimization of supply chain activities and supply chain innovation. Based on panel data from Bloom...

摘要：Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) by first-tier suppliers, referred to as the supply base, are dynamic and drastic changes in supply chain structure and relationships that affect focal firm performance. In particular, the impact of M&As in a supply base depends on the concentration and differentiation of the supply base, which affects power-dependence relationships in the supply chain. This study examines the effect of supply base M&As on focal firms' cost of goods sold (COGS). In addition, this...
