• Supply Chains with a Conscience AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Hau L.
  作者单位：Stanford University
  摘要：As supply chains become more and more globalized, even in times of disruptions and trade frictions, and that consumers are increasingly more demanding on the environmental and social responsibility performances of the supply chains that supply products they are buying, research in supply chain management should also contribute to make an impact under such trends. I call this supply chains with a conscience, where supply chains need to continuously strive to minimize the harms and negative impa...
• Improving Agility, Adaptability, Alignment, Accessibility, and Affordability in Nanostore Supply Chains AI翻译

  摘要：In developing economies, nanostores (i.e., small independent neighborhood stores) in urban and rural areas face different infrastructural, operational, and financial challenges. How can urban nanostores compete with supermarket chains as they enter the market? How can rural nanostores provide more services at affordable prices to sustain their operations? By developing innovative business models enabled by new technologies such as smartphones, mobile payments, and solar panels, we show how urb...

  摘要：We study a stylized dynamic assortment planning problem during a selling season of finite length T. At each time period, the seller offers an arriving customer an assortment of substitutable products and the customer makes the purchase among offered products according to a discrete choice model. The goal of the seller is to maximize the expected revenue, or equivalently, to minimize the worst-case expected regret. One key challenge is that utilities of products are unknown to the seller and ne...
• Nudging a Slow-Moving High-Margin Product in a Supply Chain with Constrained Capacity AI翻译

  摘要：For a slow-moving high-margin product, we demonstrate the viability of an information-based nudging strategy. The motivation to study this problem was because a firm faced availability constraints for one of its slow-moving high-margin products, but the available quantities still exceeded the current demand. To identify customers to nudge, we develop a support vector machine (SVM) approach to rank order the customers based on their propensity to purchase the product. The underlying notion in o...
• Crowdfunding Project Design: Optimal Product Menu and Funding Target AI翻译

  摘要：We study, using a stylized analytical model, an entrepreneur's design of the optimal product menu for crowdfunding together with the optimal choice of the funding target. We find that in contrast to prior literature on crowdfunding, downward quality distortion of the low-quality product in the entrepreneur's product menu under crowdfunding can be higher, lesser or even non-existent than that under traditional selling. We also show that crowdfunding as an alternative to traditional selling is o...

  摘要：Data center networks provide the physical infrastructure that hosts Internet-related services and cloud computing. Designing data center networks properly is imperative for Internet-related service and cloud computing providers to gain competitive edges through cost efficiency and service quality. In this study, we formulate a mathematical programming model to address the data center network design problem, in which the objective is to minimize total operating cost and the service delay penalt...

  摘要：The gap between medical research on diagnostic testing and clinical workflow can lead to rejection of valuable medical research in a busy clinical environment due to increased workloads, or rejection of medical research in the laboratory that may be valuable in practice due to a misunderstanding of the system-level benefits of the new test. This has implications for research organizations, diagnostic test manufacturers, and hospital managers among others. To bridge this gap, we develop a Marko...
• From the Classics to New Tunes: A Neoclassical View on Sharing Economy and Innovative Marketplaces AI翻译
  作者：Hu, Ming
  作者单位：University of Toronto
  摘要：Operations management has the tradition of coming from and going back to real-life applications. It deals with the management of the process of matching supply with demand. The emerging business process in a sharing economy or an innovative marketplace calls for active management at the operational level. We take a neoclassical perspective by drawing inspiration from the classic models in operations management and economics. We aim at building connections and identifying differences between th...
• International Taxation and Production Outsourcing AI翻译

  摘要：This paper studies the effects of international taxation on multinational firms' production outsourcing strategies, which has attracted recent attention from both practitioners and legislators. We formulate a stylized economic model with information asymmetry and find that under the territorial tax system, the presence of global tax disparity may result in subtle changes of a firm's production outsourcing strategy. In particular, the tax consideration can make a multinational firm more incline...
