• Joint Shelf Design and Space Planning Problem With Placement Options AI翻译
  作者：Zajac, Sandra; Kuhn, Heinrich
  摘要：This article introduces the first joint shelf design and space planning problem that considers two placement options for items-hanging and shelving-on flexible shelves. These types of shelves are used in sectors such as do-it-yourself and toy retail, and for household goods in grocery stores. However, they have received limited attention in the literature, which typically focuses on regular shelves with a single placement option: placing items on shelf panels. The problem requires three interd...

  摘要：Predictive hotspot mapping is an important problem in crime prediction and control. An accurate hotspot mapping helps in appropriately targeting the available resources to manage crime in cities. With an aim to make data-driven decisions and automate policing and patrolling operations, police departments across the world are moving toward predictive approaches relying on historical data. In this paper, we create a nonparametric model using a spatiotemporal kernel density formulation for the pu...

  摘要：This paper investigates the informed retailer's demand-information sharing problem within a supply chain characterized by production economies or diseconomies of scale and downstream competition. Using a game-theoretical model, we analyze multiple information-sharing regimes-from no sharing to partial or full (public) disclosure of private demand information. Our results show that under production economies of scale, partial information sharing triggers wholesale price distortion by the manufa...

  摘要：Firms are increasingly confronting a fundamental organizational choice: whether to retain human control over operational and marketing decisions or to delegate decision authority to agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems. While recent advances in generative and autonomous AI enable real-time pricing, inventory allocation, and demand coordination, firms exhibit substantial heterogeneity in how much autonomy they grant these systems-ranging from full automation to extensive human oversight...

  摘要：While sports are enjoyed by several billion fans globally, the business of sports has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. Multi-disciplinary research on developing competitive strategies for drafting players and making on-field decisions is growing rapidly. However, there remains a notable gap in operations management research focusing on the business aspects of the sports industry. This paper addresses this gap in the literature to encourage future research in this domain. We highli...

  摘要：Recycling and remanufacturing have gained significance and popularity in response to growing environmental concerns and economic pressures. Although previous studies have extensively examined the competitive collection in a closed-loop supply chain, they ignored the pricing decisions in both the forward and reverse channels. In this paper, we develop a two-period analytical framework that considers pricing decisions in both the forward and reverse channels to explore the impacts of competitive...

  摘要：Armed conflicts, terrorism, and political instability disrupt the implementation of thousands of prosocial projects in the developing world. In this unstable, fast-paced environment, managers may need to change course and adapt projects to new circumstances. Could adaptive management be a solution? Leveraging a groundbreaking pilot run by the World Bank, we evaluate the performance of all 429 adaptive projects implemented between 1998 and 2013, when the Bank launched the adaptable program loan...

  摘要：Industry 4.0 technologies have been regarded as powerful means to enhance a firm's competitiveness in the Internet of Things environment. However, implementing Industry 4.0 technologies calls for considerable capital expenditure and might interrupt normal production in the short term. This study conducts an empirical analysis of the impact of investing in Industry 4.0 technologies based on a sample of 563 investment announcements of publicly listed firms on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shen...

  摘要：Consider a client who has a problem she cannot solve by a given due date, and a consultant engaged to help. The consultant sets the price for knowledge outsourcing to maximize his profit. The client sets the quantity of knowledge outsourcing and the portion of the problem she solves in-house to minimize her cost. The client benefits from knowledge outsourcing only to the extent that she has absorptive capacity to understand and utilize that knowledge. In this context, absorptive capacity is dr...

  摘要：The assortment provided by the seller can influence customers' evaluation of item utility. A possible consequence is that certain items in an assortment become focal items to customers, and customers over-evaluate their utilities. We refer to this phenomenon as the focal effect. Kovach and Tserenjigmid (2022) recently propose a focal Luce model (FLM) to describe customers' choices in the presence of the focal effect. The merit of the FLM lies in its flexibility to model different consumer psyc...
