摘要：We collaborate with a leading mushroom producer in North America to investigate the potential benefits of redesigning agribusiness operations, specifically, harvesting processes, to enhance both firm performance and working conditions of employees. We consider two harvesting protocols: The dominant status-quo practice, namely Harvest-all and an alternative, namely Selective Harvesting. In the Harvest-all protocol, workers pick all crop units in the areas assigned to them, regardless of the cro...

摘要：In the United States, the lack of competition within the healthcare market is notably influenced by the opacity of service pricing, leading to unchecked price increases without improvements in service quality. The hospital price transparency rule, implemented on January 1, 2021, seeks to address this by requiring the disclosure of prices, aiming to stimulate competition and lower costs. Yet, the policy's effect on hospital charges and consumer behavior remains largely unexplored. This study em...

摘要：A growing body of work has examined how workplace policies promoting fair treatment influence workplace culture and the work environment. Much less is known about whether such policies spill over to facility-level environmental outcomes in manufacturing. In this study, we exploit the staggered adoption of Employment Non-Discrimination Acts (ENDAs) across different states in the United States to examine whether ENDAs reduce process waste generated at manufacturing facilities. Our results show t...

摘要：Decentralized applications (DApps)-digital applications operating on blockchain platforms-are transforming diverse industrial sectors. As blockchain platforms feature protocol-based governance, the mechanisms driving DApp adoption differ fundamentally from those in traditional digital environments. Drawing on observational learning theory, we conceptualize individual DApp adoption as decision interdependence driven by the visible actions of others. Building on platform governance theory, we id...

摘要：While online reviews are critical in e-commerce, the strategic behavior of reviewers is understudied, especially in business-to-business (B2B) markets. We investigate buyers' strategic behaviors when leaving reviews: whether B2B buyers withhold reviews from high-performing suppliers to temper their growth and maintain future bargaining power. We collect the entire review and transaction histories of 4,605 suppliers on Alibaba.com, the largest B2B global sourcing platform, covering 62,529 revie...

摘要：For omnichannel multi-brand retailers, store openings are consequential strategic decisions. Beyond whether to open a store, firms must choose a format, select product categories, and decide how to support them in-store. To inform these decisions, we study the openings of two large experience-centric stores and one small convenience-centric store operated by an omnichannel consumer electronics retailer. Using a staggered difference-in-differences model, we estimate the impact of store openings...

摘要：Background: Education, like other service operations, depends on the quality of its delivery channel. Broadband has become a critical delivery channel for learning in the modern education system, but access and speed remain uneven across U.S. communities. Aim: Scholars disagree on how broadband access affects educational outcomes, and prior work often overlooks broadband speed. We extend prior work by assessing how both broadband access and speed together influence U.S. math proficiency. Metho...

摘要：Forced displacement crises have become a pressing humanitarian concern. Refugee movements expose individuals to dire living conditions with severe inaccessibility to essential resources. Humanitarian organizations play a vital role in alleviating these hardships through relief aid interventions. This study aims to optimize the fulfillment of recurring needs for geographically dispersed refugee groups en route to safe destinations. Here, capacitated mobile facilities are tasked with delivering ...

摘要：We study a make-to-order system with a finite set of customers. Production is stochastic with a nonlinear dependence between the ordered quantity and the production rate. Customers may have to queue until their turn arrives, and therefore their order decisions interact. Specifically, while being served, customers are aware of the queue length and choose one of two order quantities (or service types). The time to the next replenishment (their activity time) is stochastic and depends on the orde...
