摘要：The healthcare industry has invested heavily in electronic health records and other clinical information systems in order to improve caregivers' access to information and ability to share information with other care providers. It has been shown that these systems can readily induce in their users a state of information overload, where the volume and complexity of information overwhelms the user, leading to lower decision speed and quality. This research introduces and tests a cognitive techniq...

摘要：The rapid growth of big data provides tremendous opportunities for making better decisions, where better can be defined using any combination of economic, environmental, or social metrics. This essay provides a few examples of how the use of big data can precipitate more sustainable decision-making. However, as with any technology, the use of big data on a large scale will have some undesirable consequences. Some of these are foreseeable, while others are entirely unpredictable. This essay hig...

摘要：We study the provision of collaborative services under online reviews, where the service outcome depends on the effort of both the service provider and the client. The provider decides not only her own effort but also the client's, at least to some extent. The client gives the review based on his net utility upon service completion. We develop a signal-jamming model in which the provider's inherent capability or type is unobservable, and the market infers the provider type through observable s...

摘要：There has been a significant increase in the scale and scope of humanitarian efforts over the last decade. Humanitarian operations need to berapid, impactful, sustained, and efficient (RISE). Big data offers many opportunities to enable RISE humanitarian operations. In this study, we introduce the role of big data in humanitarian settings and discuss data streams which could be utilized to develop descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive models to significantly impact the lives of people in n...

摘要：When deciding whether to adopt an innovative product or service, consumers often experience different levels of anxiety (i.e., nervousness) that prompt them to resist purchase (e.g., fear of learning new technologies, disruption of established habits or beliefs). In such cases, consumers' anxiety is mitigated by validation through externality (e.g., the number of early adopters). To reduce consumers' anxiety, firms can also invest in familiarization through promotion (e.g., offering free trial...

摘要：Enabled by the advances in information technology (IT), many supply chain partners have adopted the practice of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) to improve operations efficiency. While the IT investment for VMI implementation can be significant, the benefits of VMI to different supply chain members are not obvious based on anecdotal evidences and empirical studies. This paper studies the effects of VMI on a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer to shed light on when an IT ...

摘要：The Braess Paradox (BP) illustrates an important counterintuitive observation that adding links to a directed transportation network with usage externalities may raise the costs of all users. Research on the BP traditionally focuses on congestible networks. We propose and experimentally test a new and more dramatic version of the BP, where the network exhibits both congestion (negative externalities) and cost-sharing (positive externalities) characteristics. Our design also involves experiment...

摘要：Malaria is a major health concern for many developing countries. Designing strategies for efficient distribution of malaria medications, such as Artemesinin Combination Therapies, is a key challenge in resource constrained countries. This paper develops a solution methodology that integrates strategic-level and tactical-level models to better manage pharmaceutical distribution through a three-tier centralized health system, which is common to sub-Saharan African countries. At the strategic lev...
