摘要：Most recommerce providers have moved to a quality-dependent process for the acquisition of used products. They acquire the products via websites at which product holders submit upfront quality statements and receive quality-dependent acquisition prices for their used devices. Motivated by this development of reverse logistics practice, the aim of this study is to analyze the product assessment process of a recommerce provider in detail. To this end, we first propose a sequential bargaining mod...

摘要：As waste from used electronic products grows steadily, manufacturers face take-back regulations mandating its collection and proper treatment through recycling, or remanufacturing. Environmentalists greet such regulation with enthusiasm, but its effect on remanufacturing activity and industry competition remains unclear. We research these questions, using a stylized model with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) facing competition from an independent remanufacturer (IR). We examine the ef...

摘要：In this paper, we study the profitability of service-level-based price differentiation (SLBPD) in an inventory-rationing context. SLBPD implies that a company offers several combinations of prices and guaranteed service levels, from which customers self-select; different customers choose different offerings because they incur different shortage costs if an order is not fulfilled immediately. We develop an analytical model for SLBPD and explore if and when such a service differentiation strateg...

摘要：Behavioral Operations Management explicitly considers the effects of human behavior in process performance, influenced by cognitive biases, social preferences, and cultural norms. This broadening of Operations is even more critical in the context of the Management of Technology (MOT) than in the operations of established ongoing processes, because in innovation, people do not know well which tasks they will have to perform, they are exposed to risks, and they are subject to emergent interdepen...

摘要：The current state of outpatient healthcare delivery is characterized by capacity shortages and long waits for appointments, yet a substantial fraction of valuable doctors' capacity is wasted due to no-shows. In this study, we examine the effect of wait to appointment on patient flow, specifically on a patient's decision to schedule an appointment and to subsequently arrive to it. These two decisions may be dependent, as appointments are more likely to be scheduled by patients who are more pati...

摘要：Recent research indicates that consumers hold significant concerns about the quality of remanufactured products. To better understand this phenomenon, this manuscript combines surveys and experimental studies to identify the antecedents of perceived qualityin the form of perceived risk of functionality and cosmetic defectsand their significant impact on consumers' willingness to pay (wtp) for remanufactured electronics products. The study also controls for alternative explanations for wtp sugg...

摘要：We provide an exact myopic analysis for an N-stage serial inventory system with batch ordering, linear ordering costs, and nonstationary demands under a finite planning horizon. We characterize the optimality conditions of the myopic nested batching newsvendor (NBN) policy and the myopic independent batching newsvendor (IBN) policy, which is a single-stage approximation. We show that echelon reorder levels under the NBN policy are upper bounds of the counterparts under both the optimal policy ...

摘要：In scheduling medical residents, the objective is often to maximize resident satisfaction across the space of feasible schedules, relative to the many hard constraints that ensure appropriate patient coverage, adequate training opportunities, etc. A common metric of resident satisfaction is the number of time-off requests that are granted. Simply maximizing this total, however, may lead to undesirable schedules since some requests have higher priority than others. For example, it might be bett...

摘要：Due to yields of less than 50% during the production of curved glass for the displays on their new cell phone series, Samsung has to deal with higher than expected production costs of several million dollars. Where there is random yield, production costs as well as holding costs can be reduced by introducing quality inspections, in which defective items are discarded before further production. To achieve the greatest cost savings, it is important to determine the optimal number and positions o...

摘要：In this article, we look at research published over a five-year time span in the economics of information systems (IS) area in four premier journals, including Management Science, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, and Production and Operations Management, to identify research themes that have implications for future research in the area of Management of Technology (MOT). Through our examination of the literature, we identify three emergent themes that can be used to form foundations...
