摘要：Patients' skills, knowledge, and motivation to actively engage in their health care are assessed with the patient activation measure (PAM). The literature on the role of PAM, when patient counseling is coupled with a technology enabled continuity of care intervention, is scant. We model the patient-health care provider feedback loop and learning through error corrections to explore the relations between continuity of care, PAM and patient readmissions. We test this model using data from a rand...

摘要：There is extensive academic research examining why firms adopt environmental management practices (EMPs), reflecting an increasing focus on firm environmental activity in research and practice. However, there is little understanding of why firms vary within and across industries in the number of EMPs they adopt (EMP adoption). In this study, we seek to identify the sources of variation and quantify the relative importance of each source. Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) and a 12-year p...

摘要：Much of the network revenue management (NRM) literature considers capacity control problems where product prices are fixed and the product availability is controlled over time. However, for industries with imperfect competition, firms typically retain some pricing power and dynamic pricing models are more realistic than capacity control models. Dynamic pricing problems are more challenging to solve; even the deterministic version is typically nonlinear. In this study, we consider a dynamic pro...

摘要：When a supplier serves multiple buyers, the buyers often reserve the supplier's capacity in advance to secure the supply to fulfill their demand. In this study, we analyze two common types of capacity reservation: exclusive and first-priority reservations. Both reservations give a buyer first access to its reserved capacity, but the reservations differ in how the leftovers (if any) are used. In most cases, as long as the buyer gets to use the reserved capacity first, it does not pay attention ...

摘要：International humanitarian organizations (IHOs) always strive to improve their operational performance in the field. While anecdotes from practice suggest that IHO field office leadership plays a crucial role in this regard, these claims have not been deeply substantiated by primary data. In response, we collected survey data from 125 humanitarian workers, concentrated in disaster response and development programs, on the issues of field office leadership and operational performance. Building ...

摘要：Extreme precipitation caused by global climate change is expected to have a severe impact on urbanized areas. While decision-makers struggle with climate uncertainty, an effective infrastructure adaptation strategy attaches great importance to preventing disasters resulting from rainfall. We propose a decision-making model to incorporate the probability of rainfall disasters and recommend investing time when evaluating projects related to climate adaptation. We use a hydrological statistical m...

摘要：The role of national culture interactions is important in operations management and supply chain management decisions. Yet, cross-cultural research in this field is limited. Our goal in this study is to review relevant research, to raise awareness about the critical role of national culture among operations management and supply chain management researchers, and to offer directions for future research. To achieve this goal, we report our research findings in three major categories: (i) Operati...

摘要：The diffusion of technological innovations in developing economies has been facilitated by the use of rent-to-own business models, which give flexibility to customers by allowing them to make incremental payments over time. Understanding the implications of this flexibility is a fundamental problem for an increasing number of firms operating in these markets. In this study, we empirically analyze how consumer usage and payment behaviors interact in an application of rent-to-own to the distribu...

摘要：In this study, we investigate how consumers derive value from having the option to use physical stores for their transactions in the DVD rental market. We analyze data from consumers who subscribed to an online-offline video rental service from a leading company that closed a large number of physical store locations during our study period. We quantify the extent to which offline store closures induced individuals to terminate their subscriptions with our focal company. We further examine how ...

摘要：The electric power industry is undergoing dramatic change driven by rapid technological transformation, concern over climate change, and evolving market structures. As a result, there is a need for new models to help the industry better utilize resources in a time of increasing uncertainty and to help government policy makers better understand the impacts of their regulatory decisions. We provide a structured review of the operations research and management science literatures to describe the ...
