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：Auto-delivery is a subscription model widely employed in supply chains, whereby a supplier delivers products to a buyer (or multiple buyers) according to the buyer's choice of a constant shipping quantity to be delivered at prescheduled dates. The buyer enjoys a discount for the auto-delivery orders and other benefits, including free subscription and cancellation. Because these benefits seem to all accrue to the buyer at the supplier's expense, the rationale for the supplier's decision to offe...

摘要：This paper proposes price cannibalization as a growth strategy despite prior findings that suggests avoiding it. We focus on a multiclass, capacity-constrained pricing problem in which each of the product classes has a price range. Specifically, we examine the effects of price range overlaps and introduce it as a revenue-maximizing pricing strategy. Price cannibalization happens when sales in some product classes decrease due to the existence of overlaps between the price ranges. We employ a m...

摘要：Our research investigates a joint inventory replenishment and pricing problem, where a seller controls the price of a leading product while restocking for all the products. We demonstrate that the seller's expected value functions present an L-(sic)-concave structure, recommending an optimal order-up-to inventory-level and list-price policy. Our findings reveal divergent economic relationships between products from the seller's and customer's perspectives, suggesting managers broaden their str...

摘要：We study the robust production and maintenance control for a production system subject to degradation. A periodic maintenance scheme is considered, and the system production rate can be dynamically adjusted before maintenance, serving as a proactive way of degradation management. Optimal control of the degradation rate aims to strike a balance between the risk of failure and the production profit. We first consider the scenario in which the degradation rate increases linearly with the producti...

摘要：The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have recently emphasized the importance of diversity inclusion. Motivated by this goal, we examine the impact of employing individuals with disabilities in apparel manufacturing cells on overall team productivity (PD). We formulate a series of deterministic and stochastic PD maximization assignment problems to study the impact of disability inclusion on a production line. We extend the baseline PD maximization formulation to study a multi-object...

摘要：Customers of many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in business-to-business markets today demand product servicizing in which instead of buying the product from the OEM they buy the use of a product during a lease. During the lease, (i) the customer uses the product and returns it to the OEM after the use reaches a specific level, (ii) the OEM remanufactures the product in a costly process and sends it back to the customer, and this usecycle is repeated multiple times. The lease terms ty...

摘要：Companies have increasingly used supply chain financing instead of bank financing when engaging with financially constrained suppliers. We investigate the effectiveness of different financing mechanisms at supporting supply chain responsibility. We consider a decentralized supply chain where a buyer sources from a financially constrained supplier who borrows from either a bank or the buyer to finance his production. The buyer audits the supplier for responsibility compliance and will refuse to...

摘要：We study mechanisms that encourage manufacturers of health products to build production and distribution capacity. This is important for low- and middle-income country (LMIC) markets where ability to pay is lower and demand risks are greater. Development finance institutions and philanthropies are beginning to utilize new instruments to incentivize manufacturers to build production/distribution capacity for LMIC markets. The goal of this paper is to understand the effectiveness of such mechani...
