摘要：The past three decades have witnessed a tremendous shift in public health policies toward marijuana legalization in the United States. Adopting the process-based view of innovation, we hypothesize that marijuana's increased use and related consequences after its legalization affect innovators' behavior and social environment during the innovation process, which in turn impacts regional innovation. Utilizing the staggered adoption of medical marijuana laws (MMLs) by 20 states between 1996 and 2...

摘要：Endowed with significant firm-specific knowledge, inside directors can contribute to the decision-making processes of the boardroom. However, regulatory changes, focusing primarily on the monitoring function of the boards, have driven inside directors out of the boardroom. This article argues that suppliers with firm- and industry-specific knowledge are uniquely positioned to fill a critical void in boardrooms. It also suggests that the value of having a supplier on the board (SOTB) is influen...

摘要：We theorize that employees use the performance feedback they receive to reassess their beliefs about the marginal benefit of their effort, which may lead them to increase or reduce their effort. To test our model, we conduct a field experiment at the distribution center of a Fortune 500 firm where employees receive individual performance pay, and we study two types of feedback, individual and relative. The results show that employees react to feedback content in a way that is consistent with t...

摘要：We examine competing brands' incentive to offer a self-designable package that consumers can modify to ensure fit, in addition to offering a standard, pre-configured product. While amateurs with low self-design capability prefer a standard, pre-configured product and can have strong preference for a particular brand, experts with high self-design capability prefer a self-designable package and tend to be indifferent between competing brands. First, we find that asymmetric equilibrium can arise...

摘要：We study the co-opetition strategy between a manufacturer of a proprietary component (MPC) and an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The MPC can choose to supply components to the OEM and can also compete in the end market with its own final product. Customers can purchase from either firm and are strategic in that they choose whether to buy now or later. In a two-period game theoretical model, we analyze the MPC's optimal co-opetition strategy, which mainly concerns whether to sell to the...

摘要：Our study analyzes capacity management for promising vaccine candidates before regulatory approval (i.e., at-risk capacity building) in the presence of production outsourcing and different operational challenges: misaligned interests, possible ex post negotiations, asymmetric information between developers and manufacturers, and government involvement. We develop analytical models to compare two vaccine production modes: (1) the integrated mode (a single company determines the at-risk capacity...

摘要：Resale platforms such as Swappa and ThredUP, which provide a channel for product-holders to sell used products, have become common. Interestingly, in the presence of resale platforms, some firms, such as Apple, set lower rebates for the trade-in-for-upgrade (TU) mode instead of implementing the trade-in-for-upgrade-and-cash (TUC) mode as Huawei does. In this paper, we build game-theoretical models to explore how a firm should adjust its trade-in strategy (e.g., choose pricing and mode selectio...

摘要：We consider a joint control of pricing and production in a two-item inventory system, where each item can be produced by its dedicated source or a shared flexible source, under the lost-sales setting. The demands of the two items are correlated. Due to the complexity caused by the lost-sales assumption and the interplay between pricing and production decisions, we show the optimal value function satisfies five structural properties under certain conditions. The optimal ordering and pricing pol...

摘要：This study focuses on a broadly adopted but largely underexplored cashback strategy, the praise cashback strategy (PCS), which aims to entice consumers to keep purchases and post positive online reviews. The literature acknowledges the impact of cashback strategies on consumers' purchase and review behaviors; however, it does not focus on how they affect consumers' return behaviors. Moreover, there are few studies on the effect of cashback strategies on consumer surplus and social welfare in t...

摘要：Online platforms are experimenting with interventions such as content screening to moderate the effects of fake, biased, and incensing content. Yet, online platforms face an operational challenge in implementing machine learning algorithms for managing online content due to the labeling problem, where labeled data used for model training are limited and costly to obtain. To address this issue, we propose a domain adaptive transfer learning via adversarial training approach to augment fake cont...
