摘要：The indirect productivity gains related to information technology (IT), known as IT externalities, in inter-firm contexts have been extensively studied. However, the impact of IT investments within a business unit (BU) of a multibusiness firm on the productivity of other BUs remains unclear. Additionally, the conditions that facilitate such intra-firm externalities are not well understood. Research on resource externalities within multibusiness firms typically focuses on capacity-sharing benef...

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...

摘要：This paper studies the data-driven design of a smart emergency response system for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) that involves drones for automatic external defibrillator delivery and community responders alerted via a mobile application, in addition to ambulances. Our study is motivated by the widespread exploration of drones for delivery service, and the emergence of mobile applications that crowdsource community for emergency response. Based on a historical OHCA dataset with communi...

摘要：Much of the previous research on facility networks focuses on improving the network design, but a good design alone is not sufficient to ensure smooth operations against disruption risks. This study examines an underexplored question of where to invest in resilience in a facility network. Prior studies offered insights into this issue, with some scholars recommending a focus on critical nodes, while others emphasize the importance of critical paths that are sequences of adjacent nodes and edge...

摘要：We study a supply chain comprising a downstream retailer and multiple complementary suppliers. Suppliers can form coalitions to jointly invest in sustainable production technologies and enhance the product's corporate social responsibility (CSR) level. Coalition members benefit from efficiency gains through shared knowledge and information about green production. The retailer sources from these coalitions and sells the product to heterogeneous consumers. We develop a game-theoretical model and...

摘要：Many online labor markets face challenges in matching service providers with employers because of the high uncertainty in online environments compared to traditional ones. While prior studies have mostly focused on the uncertainty that employers face with service providers, our study explores the uncertainty service providers face when selecting projects on which to bid. Specifically, our study examines the role of project description in the Call for Bids (CFB) that describes the services requ...

摘要：This study explores the effects of competition on fair trade operations. Specifically, as a benchmark, we first consider a model with a single fair trade organization (FTO), that is, a monopoly FTO. We then extend the analysis to a setting with two competing FTOs, that is, duopoly FTOs. Although both FTOs share the common goal of alleviating farmers poverty, they adopt contrasting strategies: One FTO seeks to lower the barriers to fair trade, aiming to mainstream it, while the other maintains ...

摘要：We consider a two-echelon decentralized supply chain where the probability of selling nondefective products depends on the supplier's quality improvement and the buyer's inspection efforts. Products assembled from defective components cause a recall that leads to external failure costs for the buyer. Both players' efforts are not contractible and it is a challenge to align inspection and quality-improvement efforts in a decentralized supply chain. We find that a procurement contract can provid...

摘要：A supply chain network design problem (SCNDP) involves making long-term, irreversible strategic decisions whose cost efficiency depends on effectively leveraging flexibility and demand information. After analyzing the interaction of these factors, we propose five distinct policies for addressing the SCNDP. Starting with a localized production model where demand is satisfied locally, the study extends to scenarios where production capacity at one location serves other nodes (Policy II). Further...
