摘要：Focal firms are struggling to improve their environmental performance for several reasons, including a scarcity of internal and external environmental resources. This study suggests that coopetition provides a boost to a focal firm's environmental performance. In particular, this research theorizes that a coopetitor firm's environmental performance has a spillover effect on a focal firm's environmental performance. This study also investigates the moderating role of a focal firm's financial sl...

摘要：In this study, we consider a new customer choice model which we call the single transition choice model. In this model, there is a universe of products and customers arrive at each product with a certain probability. If the arrived product is unavailable, then the seller can recommend a subset of available products and the customer will purchase one of the recommended products or choose not to purchase with certain transition probabilities. The distinguishing features of the model are that the...

摘要：Business users (suppliers) of information technology (IT) equipment often contract with third party remanufacturers (3PRs) for the end-of-use disposition of their used electronic equipment. Our goal in this research is to develop a model to analyze contracts consisting of an upfront payment (t) and a revenue share (r) between a supplier and 3PR, study their impact on disposition decisions, and explore the impact of 3PR risk-aversion and quality uncertainty on optimum contracts. We model a Stac...

摘要：Data sharing between upstream and downstream entities is vital for the success of a supply chain. However, distrust, privacy concerns, data misuse, and the asymmetric valuation of shared data between entities often hinder data sharing. This problem calls for a secure, efficient, fair, and trustworthy data-sharing mechanism. The key to such a successful system hinges on how to trace the data usage, determine the value of the seller's data to the buyer and then compensate the seller accordingly....

摘要：Personality quiz is a powerful tool that enables costumer segmentation by actively asking them questions, and marketers are using it as an effective method of generating leads and increasing e-commerce sales. We study the problem of how to select and sequence a group of quiz questions so as to optimize the quality of customer segmentation. We assume that the customer will sequentially scan the list of questions. After reading a question, the customer makes two, possibly correlated, random deci...

摘要：In this paper, we study the effectiveness of incentives on delivery service time slot choices. In particular, we focus on the use of green labels that specify time slots as environmentally friendly and that intrinsically motivate customers to choose a specific delivery time slot in lieu of price incentives based on extrinsic motivation. We argue that this is important since green labels' intrinsic nature affects costumer choice in fundamentally different ways than price incentives. We conduct ...

摘要：We consider an agricultural supply chain consisting of a capital-constrained smallholder farmer and an intermediary platform. The smallholder farmer sells agricultural products through the intermediary platform but lacks financial resources for planting. In addition to traditional bank financing (provided by a bank), the creditworthy intermediary platform can provide loans directly to the farmer (known as direct financing) or serve as a guarantor if the farmer's creditworthiness is insufficien...

摘要：Bundling strategies have been widely adopted by online retail platforms that use agency selling, where suppliers pay a commission fee to the platform to gain access and sell directly to consumers. We study the optimal bundling strategy for a retail platform through which two independent suppliers distribute their products. The suppliers first set their product prices, and, subsequently, the platform decides whether to offer the two products as a bundle and, if so, the price of the bundled prod...

摘要：Given the promise of three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, some innovative consumer goods companies have started to experiment with such a technology for on-demand production. In this study, we consider two adoption cases of 3D printing in a dual-channel (i.e., online and in-store) retail setting, and evaluate its impact on a firm's product offering, pricing, and inventory decisions. Our analysis uncovers the following effects of 3D printing. First, 3D printing...

摘要：In the context of Industry 4.0, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays an increasingly important role in firm risk management. To mitigate risk and improve operational productivity, artificial intelligence (AI), a key disruptive technology, has been increasingly employed in many industries. In this study, we examine the relationship between CSR and idiosyncratic risk (IR) as moderated by AI innovation and operational efficiency based on data from 1614 firms in China during the period from...
