摘要：Stocks of some food products, such as whiskey, cheese, or port wine, ameliorate during storage, facilitating product differentiation according to age. This induces a trade-off between immediate revenues and further maturation. Inventory management decisions include purchasing volumes of agricultural produce and production volumes for age-differentiated products. Because products can be blended from stocks of different ages, issuance decisions offer operational flexibility. However, whereas som...

摘要：While mobility-as-a-service platforms have revolutionized urban transportation and fundamentally transformed travelers' experience and engagement, they encounter a significant challenge in maintaining a temporal and spatial balance between supply and demand, particularly with the inclusion of crowd-sourced freelance drivers. In this study, we propose a hybrid supply-side management problem that accounts for heterogeneous revenue dependent on surge pricing, where surge pricing not only determin...

摘要：Media plays a crucial role in shaping public perception of firms, significantly impacting their operations and performance. Firms often attempt to influence media channels to showcase their climate action initiatives, aiming to enhance their public image, reputation, and stakeholder trust. While firms cannot directly control their media coverage, intentional or unintentional dissemination of their climate action efforts can thrust them into the media spotlight. The implications of this media s...

摘要：Conventional item-based collaborative filtering recommender systems display recommended products (RPs) on a focal product's (FP's) page based on their co-views and co-purchases, but do not explicitly consider their price differences. While the latitude of price acceptance theory suggests that consumers may avoid purchasing products with significantly different prices from their reference prices, the effect of displaying differently priced RP on the FP's page remains unclear. On the one hand, c...

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：Following a manufacturer's large product recall, its supplier's shareholders may perceive uncertain future demand for the supplier's products and react punitively, causing a drop in the supplier's stock return-that is, a contagion (or negative spillover). Moreover, shareholders' information asymmetry may cause them to screen the supplier's information cues to determine the supplier's extent of demand uncertainty. The ideal screen is the supplier's proportion of sales revenue from the recalling...

摘要：We evaluate economic immunity to the COVID-19 pandemic accorded by a sector's exposure to artificial intelligence (AI). Using an event study design, we causally estimate the impact of AI industry exposure (AIIE) on shifts in economic activity following the first pandemic-induced lockdown in India. We use payments data from one of India's largest payment gateways and find that a one-standard-deviation increase in AIIE arrests the post-pandemic decline in industry payments by a third. High AIIE ...

摘要：Retention is a critical challenge for organizations, especially nonprofits, which often face higher turnover than for-profit firms. Unlike many for-profits, nonprofits have fewer financial resources to retain participants, so continued participation depends more on team climate and opportunities to learn by working together. We study these dynamics in the Girl Scouts Cookie Program. We collect sales and troop membership information between 2016 and 2018 from a local Girl Scout council consisti...

摘要：In many service systems, an individual server's workload can have a substantial impact on service time and quality. Such effects are particularly important in healthcare systems which often operate under resource and time constraints. In much of the literature, this effect of workload has been primarily considered at the system and instantaneous level rather than the individual and cumulative level. In this study, we investigate this relationship in the context of cardiac surgery, that is, how...

摘要：Crises are accompanied by resource shortages, operational challenges, and shifts in demand for resources. During crises, nonprofit organizations have historically played a crucial role in mitigating these challenges, with crowdfunding platforms emerging as a new solution for resource mobilization. In this study, we examine how individual and institutional donors respond to the sudden shifts in demand that accompany a global crisis. We analyze rich, granular data from multiple sources, includin...
