摘要：Many parts of the world are experiencing extreme weather events, energy poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to basic healthcare. Moreover, concerns over socioeconomic, gender, and racial inequalities are growing. These socially relevant issues are ripe for analysis and improvement using an operations management lens. In this paper, we review some of the relevant research advancements made in the last decade, and identify future research directions on these important topics. In particu...

摘要：Do firms suffer from negative long-term business performance after being exposed for violating environmental regulations? We empirically examine this question using all 1542 environmental incidents committed by 418 public Chinese manufacturers listed on the Shanghai/Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2004 to 2013. We use the Coarsened Exact Matching to match a sample firm with (exposed) environmental incidents with a control firm that exhibits the same characteristics in our sample. Our comparative ...

摘要：Environmental and energy independence concerns lead to government subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs). Operational decisions for a government are (i) to incentivize EV ownership by a direct consumer subsidy, a station subsidy that reduces charging inconvenience, or by both subsidies; and (ii) to minimize subsidy expenditure or to maximize EV adoption level. We model the interactions between the government and the charging supplier as a Stackelberg game and study the optimal structure of subs...

摘要：The immediate response to disasters, while well intended, sometimes causes avoidable humanitarian challenges later on. Drinking water may be essential, but it is not necessary to provide it in small plastic bottles. Injections may save lives, but inappropriately discarded syringes are hazardous. Can humanitarian relief be made more sustainable? This paper summarizes a 1-day workshop on this topic, held at INSEAD in 2019 in connection with Luk Van Wassenhove's transition to emeritus professor. ...

摘要：Long-term vision depends upon history. Without a knowledge of history, both scholars and scholarship are incomplete. In a companion paper (Singhal & Singhal, 2022), we reviewed the history of technology, knowledge, and manufacturing before the Industrial Revolution, which began around 1760. Here, we continue this history from 1760 on.

摘要：Empirical research in operations management (OM) has made rapid strides in the last 30 years, and increasingly, OM researchers are leveraging methods used in the econometrics and statistics literature to assess the causal effects of interventions. We discuss the two key challenges in assessing causality with observational data (i.e., baseline bias, differential treatment effect bias) and how dominant identification approaches such as matching, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, ...

摘要：In recent years, our field has seen an increase in research that explicitly emphasizes an objective of social impact in the most unprivileged parts of the world-the so-called global base of the pyramid (BOP; referring to the 2.7 billion people living on less than $2.50 per day, the largest but most resource-poor economic group globally). This trend seems to cut across the traditional application areas of operations management (OM) and operations research (OR), and it coincides with an increase...

摘要：In this paper, we reflect on the supply chain issues and operational challenges that we experienced through the various stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. We identify some phenomena that were attributable in some way to the pandemic, and apply core principles of operations management, and a simple numerical model, to explain and understand their occurrence. We highlight some key lessons and discuss implications for supply chain design and planning, to prepare for the next global disruption.

摘要：In this article, we describe representative contributions in several major application areas of data analytics in operations management to summarize the recent development, discuss the common themes, identify the current trends, and speculate the future directions. Certainly, many important contributions have been made in various application areas that are either directly or indirectly related to data analytics, and there are important theoretical developments made by scholars in our field. It...

摘要：We review papers published in POM during its thirty-year history that deal with retail operations issues with an empirical approach. The papers span a range of issues, from traditional ones like forecasting and inventory planning, to new technologies, like radio frequency identification (RFID) and e-commerce, and strategic, like links between retailing and stock market performance.
