摘要：Firms increasingly need to manage uncertainty and become more agile and adaptable. This study considers how a multi-product firm can use its product mix, resource capacity allocation, and pricing decisions to manage challenges such as structural economic shifts or changes in consumers' willingness-to-pay. Firms that seek to develop and use such a product line face a fundamental trade-off. On the one hand, multiple products compete for the demand externally (i.e., cannibalization effects), as w...

摘要：The operations-finance interface (OFI) jointly optimizes material, monetary, and information flows under intricate sources of uncertainty. To sketch the broad landscape in this emerging and interdisciplinary field, this study synthesizes literature across diverse themes and dispersed methodologies, screens systematically the research progression from original foundations to recent contributions in each major research stream, and thereby advocates future research innovations on prospective topi...

摘要：Accurate demand forecasting is critical for supply chain efficiency, especially for the pharmaceutical (pharma) supply chain due to its unique characteristics. However, limited data have prevented forecasters from pursuing advanced models. Such problems exist even when long history of demand data is available because historical data in the distant past may bring little value as market situation changes. In the meantime, demands are also affected by many hidden factors that again require a larg...

摘要：For the execution of many supply chain operations tasks, firms are increasingly engaging in crowdsourcing-the act of dynamically delegating work via digital channels to for-hire individuals intermittently available in the marketplace (also called the crowd). The success of this practice hinges on the ability to efficiently attract workers who produce quality work from among the crowd. We draw on the foundations of Self-Determination Theory and the heuristic-systematic model to examine the ways...

摘要：We study a manufacturer's product preannouncement decision in a setting where there is uncertainty about when an innovative new product design will be finalized for production, and a key component supplier needs to reserve the capacity before the realization of the final product design. The marketing literature has shown that product preannouncement changes the product demand: it may create buzz about the new product so the demand increases; or it may induce stronger competition from rivals so...

摘要：Biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms invest billions of dollars in R&D, primarily in new drug discovery. Nonetheless, the industry is facing declining returns on R&D investments. Failure to discontinue less-promising new drug discovery projects is a key driver of this decreased productivity. Hence, firms are scrambling to restructure the new drug discovery process to improve decision-making and to limit the attrition rate to the early stages of drug discovery. Drawing on insights from the ex...

摘要：When firms post prices to sell their products in a competitive market, buyers often seek to bargain down the prices. The existing studies on dynamic competition, however, focus on firms' dynamic pricing strategies without considering the possibility of bargaining. We model a random stream of buyers with heterogeneous valuations who may choose to negotiate for a discount from a posted price. When bargaining is allowed, a seller firm's competing strategy depends not only on her reservation value...

摘要：In response to highly unpredictable sudden-onset natural disasters, efficient and effective management of disaster relief inventory (DRI) is essential. This study proposes a simple framework based on three fundamental DRI-related decision themes, which are (1) who respond to DRI calling, (2) where to locate DRI, and (3) how to control DRI, aiming at identifying the research gaps between the realities' calling and the literature's consideration with a focus on DRI management. We review relevant...
