摘要：We consider the dynamics of a two-sided platform, where the agent population on both sides experiences growth over time with heterogeneous growth rates. The compatibility between buyers and sellers is captured by a bipartite network. The platform sets commissions to optimize its total profit over T periods, considering the trade-off between short-term profit and growth as well as the spatial imbalances in supply and demand. We design an asymptotically optimal policy with the profit loss upper-...

摘要：The management of diagnostic services is a challenging and important task for hospital systems. Suboptimal scheduling of diagnostic services increases patient wait times and reduces the availability of overnight beds that could otherwise be utilized by incoming patients. Patients are served by a limited number of diagnostic technologists, who frequently experience uneven workload distributions and disproportionate workload demands. We propose a framework for analyzing and addressing workload i...

摘要：This article presents a methodological approach that employs empirical analysis to investigate the adverse operational effects of congestion within a court system setting. Central to this study is the premise that prolonged lead time generates additional tasks, consequently increasing congestion by consuming additional processing resources, a phenomenon we term the congestion vortex. To explore this subject, we leverage a large-scale rich dataset from the Israeli court system which provides a ...

摘要：Telemedicine has transformed healthcare delivery, yet its impact on the quality and consistency of clinical decision-making remains underexplored in operations management. While heralded for efficiency and access, it is unclear whether virtual care systematically alters adherence to clinical practice guidelines. This study investigates whether the mode of care, telemedicine versus in-person, affects clinicians' guideline-recommended prescribing of anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation, where ...

摘要：The widespread prevalence of opioids has prompted governments to implement targeted interventions aimed at reducing overdose mortality, with naloxone accessibility emerging as one of the most prominent policies. Naloxone, a potent opioid antagonist, is highly effective in reversing overdoses, yet its expanded availability introduces complex trade-offs, particularly in the presence of moral hazard. We develop a dynamic compartmental model that captures transitions between susceptible individual...

摘要：Sustainable development demands addressing two core challenges: mobilizing financial resources and aligning stakeholder incentives. This article surveys the operations-finance interface literature through the lens of Mobilizing Resources and Aligning Incentives framework. We highlight how the literature advances our knowledge of mitigating SME financing constraints and crafting operationally-informed financial contracts to internalize externalities. We identify a critical gap: while theoretica...

摘要：The rise of generative AI (GenAI) technology is revolutionizing firm operations and supply chain management, profoundly influencing firms within the GenAI supply chain network. While a few emerging studies have explored the impact of GenAI initiatives on firms' stock performance, it remains unclear how such disruptive technology initiatives affect the stock price movements of their supply chain partners. This paper empirically investigates the impact of firms' GenAI initiatives on the abnormal...

摘要：Over time, firms across industries have adopted quality verification as a costly yet credible tool to signal product excellence and convey reliable information to consumers. With the prosperity of E-commerce, consumers increasingly rely on online reviews-an accessible but inherently biased source of product information-to guide their purchase decisions. In practice, companies now frequently combine quality verification with consumer reviews to influence the perception of product quality. This ...

摘要：Product reviews, a type of user-generated content (UGC), are found to affect sales; however, their impact on product returns has not been fully explored. Research has revealed that inflated ratings and catchy product images may increase returns, which spells trouble for sellers. To address the issue, we examine how product contextualization in customer-posted images and review texts helps online shoppers assess a product's functionality and aesthetics and, in turn, reduce returns. Using the ar...
