摘要：We extend the prior operations management literature on innovation by providing large-sample empirical evidence of the differential effects of customer-base concentration on two distinct outcomes of innovation: volume and radicalness. We predict a positive association between customer-base concentration and innovation volume and a negative association between customer-base concentration and innovation radicalness. Using a sample of 16,014 firm-year observations in business-to-business industri...

摘要：Empirical evidence indicates that consumers experience a relative loss of excitement over time and miss their habits when refraining from consumption under repeated purchases. Despite the practices of first-time trials and welcome-back offers, how to exploit this habituation behavior through customized dynamic pricing is overlooked in the existing literature. In this article, we analyze the long-run optimal customized dynamic pricing strategy in the presence of consumer habituation for time/fr...

摘要：Capacity configuration and allocation problems in production networks under demand uncertainty have been extensively studied in the literature. In addition to demand uncertainty, capacity risk is also prevalent in practice. This article considers a bipartite production system consisting of multiple plants and a set of customers located in different areas. In particular, these plants will use their configured capacities, facing capacity risk, to serve those customers who have differentiated fil...

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：The long drug approval process in the United States imposes significant development costs on firms and delays access for patients, especially when a therapy that addresses a condition with no existing treatments shows early promise. To shorten approval timelines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has instituted expedited pathways that are designed to bring the most promising therapies to patients more quickly. In this paper, we study the safety implications of the newest of the four exped...

摘要：We study an agricultural supply chain in an emerging economy, where farmers make land allocation decisions among alternative crops and have the option to sell their harvest either in a side market or directly to a processing plant, and where a government-mandated minimum price guarantee (MPG) is in place. Our study examines a range of pricing strategies that the processing plant can employ to favor a protected crop and the utilization of the processing plant. We begin by considering the Benchm...

摘要：This paper studies the impact of product sharing on competing manufacturers under a platform's different quality entry barrier strategies. We build a game-theoretic analytical model to examine the strategies of two manufacturers: A high-quality manufacturer producing a high-quality product and a low-quality manufacturer producing a low-quality product. We explore three markets: The N-S market where the sharing market does not exist, the L-S market, and the H-S market, where the platform sets l...

摘要：As malpractice liability increases, physicians order more and more diagnostic tests/procedures to avoid potential lawsuits. Given the waste/costs of defensive medical practices, some U.S. states enacted tort reform to reduce malpractice liability. As key healthcare providers, hospitals face significant malpractice liability. Despite the fact that a vast amount of medical malpractice occurs in hospitals, the effects of tort reform on hospital performance have not been studied. This study examin...

摘要：On-demand platforms such as ride-sharing services rely heavily on economic incentives to attract, retain, and manage independent workers who have significant discretion over whether and where to work. Using an analytically tractable spatial model, we explore the impact of different pricing and commission strategies on customer demand, driver entry and retention, and their location choices. Our model yields several unique results and actionable insights. We find that flexible commission policie...

摘要：Online healthcare consultation services (OHCS) hold immense potential to transform the healthcare industry. This study seeks to investigate the impact of doctors' participation in OHCS on offline outpatient and inpatient costs, addressing a critical yet underexplored area in the healthcare IT literature. Utilizing an exhaustive dataset from a high-level comprehensive hospital in China over a period of 42 months, we find that doctors' OHCS participation increases outpatient costs by 63.2% (& YE...
