摘要：The content of climate change disclosures of large, global companies evolved from 2007 to 2016. Within that window, the same set of firms started measuring and disclosing their supply chain carbon emissions. Does carbon footprinting influence the nature and content of a firm's disclosure on the climate change risks that are expected to affect its business? We explore this question using more than 10,925 climate change disclosures collected by the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) fr...

摘要：We consider a sequential capacity allocation problem of a firm to its retail branches that sell the firm's product. The orders of the retail branches to the headquarters arrive sequentially, and each allocation decision has to be made before the next order arrives. The objective of the headquarters is to maximize the overall firm profit, that is, the total profit of all the retail branches. Each retail branch makes ordering decision independently by using private information about its local ma...

摘要：We examine the impact of consumer search from the perspective of revenue-maximizing optimal auction design. In this two-sided market, advertisers are endowed with privately known qualities, and consumers incur heterogeneous search costs when clicking on advertisements displayed by the search engine. Our general approach eliminates ad hoc restrictions and therefore allows us to uncover the salient economic trade-offs. We adopt the optimal mechanism design approach to examine this two-sided priv...

摘要：Accurate demand forecasting is critical for supply chain efficiency, especially for the pharmaceutical (pharma) supply chain due to its unique characteristics. However, limited data have prevented forecasters from pursuing advanced models. Such problems exist even when long history of demand data is available because historical data in the distant past may bring little value as market situation changes. In the meantime, demands are also affected by many hidden factors that again require a larg...

摘要：For the execution of many supply chain operations tasks, firms are increasingly engaging in crowdsourcing-the act of dynamically delegating work via digital channels to for-hire individuals intermittently available in the marketplace (also called the crowd). The success of this practice hinges on the ability to efficiently attract workers who produce quality work from among the crowd. We draw on the foundations of Self-Determination Theory and the heuristic-systematic model to examine the ways...

摘要：Supplier non-performance is an ever present problem for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) buyer and past survey-based research has shown that increasing supplier competition adversely affects their performance. Using a reverse auction setting in which supplier competition is determined by number (n) of participating suppliers (bidders), we show how buyer's exposure to supplier non-performance risk is influenced by n. In particular, we characterize conditions under which supplier non-per...
