  摘要：Facing consumers' growing demand for fast order fulfillment, it is important yet challenging for franchise companies to best incentivize frequent inventory sharing among their independent franchise retailers or dealers to achieve channel coordination. Past literature has only addressed such channel coordination for one-time inventory sharing using contractual agreements, which unfortunately do not work for frequent inventory sharing. In this study, we consider multiple inventory-sharing opport...
• Display optimization under the multinomial logit choice model: Balancing revenue and customer satisfaction AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper, we consider an assortment optimization problem in which a platform must choose pairwise disjoint sets of assortments to offer across a series of T stages. Arriving customers begin their search process in the first stage, and progress sequentially through the stages until their patience expires, at which point they make a multinomial logit-based purchasing decision from among all products they have viewed throughout their search process. The goal is to choose the sequential displ...
• Cooperative security against interdependent risks AI翻译

  摘要：Firms in interorganizational networks are exposed to interdependent risks that are transferable across partner firms, such as contamination in food supply chains or data breaches in technology networks. They can be decomposed into intrinsic risks a firm faces from its own operations and extrinsic risks transferred from its partners. Firms have access to two security strategies: either they can independently eliminate both intrinsic and extrinsic risks by securing their links with partners or, ...
• Managing presales with two payments and return policy when consumers are time-inconsistent AI翻译

  摘要：We consider a firm using presales with two payments-including an upfront deposit and a postponed arrear-to sell a product to time-inconsistent consumers under various return policies. With the passage of time, consumers decide whether to preorder the product by paying the deposit, whether to settle the balance by paying the arrear by the due date, and, when returns are allowed, whether to return a fully paid product for a refund after its fitness is revealed. Canceling a preorder before settli...
• Sequential versus concurrent final phase product development: Approval uncertainty, time-sensitive consumers, asymmetric competition, and government subsidy AI翻译

  摘要：Should a firm begin its production even before its new product is approved? In a competitive market with time-sensitive consumers, a firm may choose to adopt the concurrent process by conducting the approval process and the production process in parallel so that the product will become available for sale once approved. However, to avoid incurring upfront (production related) investments that are nonrecoverable should the product fail to receive approval, a firm may opt for the sequential proce...
• Optimal capacity sizing of park-and-ride lots with information-aware commuters AI翻译

  摘要：We study capacity sizing of park-and-ride lots that offer services to commuters sensitive to congestion and parking availability information. The goal is to determine parking lot capacities that maximize the total social welfare for commuters whose parking lot choices are predicted using the multinomial logit model. We formulate the problem as a nonconvex nonlinear program that involves a lower and an upper bound on each lot's capacity, and a fixed-point constraint reflecting the effects of pa...
• Spread and control of medical rumors in a social network: A generalized diffusion model with a highly asymmetric network structure AI翻译

  摘要：Medical rumors have become a threat to modern society. To study the spread and control of rumors, nonlinear differential equations modeling with the well-mixed assumption is commonly used. However, this approach ignores the underlying network structure which plays an important role in information spreading. We establish a generalized differential equations model to study the spread and control of medical rumors in a highly asymmetric social network. In our model, each node represents a group o...
• Estimating assortment size effects on platforms: Leveraging imperfect geographic targeting for causal inference AI翻译

  摘要：Customers of two-sided platforms may succumb to choice overload due to the frequently overwhelming assortment in such markets. We investigate the effect of assortment size on consumers' purchase probability using a unique click-stream dataset from a large peer-to-peer meal delivery platform. To resolve the key endogeneity challenge that assortment size may be larger in areas where consumers experience greater utility from purchase, we introduce a novel causal inference strategy that exploits a...
• It's not simply luck: The impact of network strategy, schedule padding, and operational improvements on domestic on-time performance in the US airline industry AI翻译

  摘要：Airlines showcase their on-time performance (OTP), a globally accepted operational performance metric, to demonstrate punctuality, service reliability, and attract air travelers. Airlines can adopt passive strategies, such as schedule padding, and active strategies, such as making operational changes/improvements, to improve their OTP. While there is a high degree of variation in airlines' OTP from year to year, it is unclear if and the extent to which airlines' active or passive actions impac...
• Growing user base in the early stage of sharing economy platforms: An integration of competitive repertoire and institutional legitimacy theories AI翻译

  摘要：Sharing economy platforms are pressed to rapidly grow user bases at the early stage by aggressively targeting potential users through competitive actions. Due to the volatile nature of the sharing economy and its disruption to industry norms, these platforms encounter legitimacy challenges that impede user base growth. This paper integrates competitive repertoire and institutional legitimacy theories to develop a research model that explains early-stage user base development in the sharing eco...
