摘要：This study investigates a supplier's voluntary disclosure strategy when it can encroach on a retailer's operations by selling directly to final consumers. The establishment of a direct sales channel expands market potential, induces the supplier to adopt a more frequent disclosure strategy, and ultimately leads to a higher level of information transparency in the supply chain. Since more quality information is revealed in the presence of a dual channel, the retailer is able to free ride on the...

摘要：When an innovator outsources the manufacturing of an innovative product to a contract manufacturer (CM) which is also a competitor in the end market, the potential innovation spillover may be a serious concern. We study an innovator's outsourcing decision under spillover risks with an emphasis on theex anteuncertain values of innovations, and distinguish between technical innovations which can only spill over through outsourcing and non-technical innovations which can also spill over in the ma...

摘要：Earlier publications indicate that the price of young wines cannot be estimated accurately through weather conditions. Considering that a majority of fine wine is sold in the form of wine futures, even before the wine is bottled, determining realistic prices for these wine futures accurately is one of the most critical decisions. Surveys of leading wine merchants and industry experts exhibit significant departures from the realized market prices. We develop a pricing model for fine wines using...

摘要：Retailers such as Best Buy are reinventing their supply chains for the era of Omnichannel with new strategies like ship-from-store-to-store (SFSTS) where stores are also used as shipping points. Under the SFSTS practice, to fill the demand (offline and online) from a customer region, two or more nearby stores of the retailers' frequently replenish from each other as well as from a distribution center (DC) to better prepare inventory before the demand arrives. We study how to best replenish the...

摘要：Manufacturers moving into services must design a service delivery system that can effectively and efficiently support their product-service offerings. Commonly, such manufacturers outsource customer service and support to independent service suppliers, while maintaining the ownership and control of certain service units. Despite the increasing number of studies in service triads investigating ways that may improve service performance and customer satisfaction, the dynamics of mixed-ownership s...

摘要：We first theoretically identify the factors that may impact individuals' routing decisions before empirically examining a large operational dataset in a casual restaurant setting. Analytical models have identified various routing algorithms for service operations management. Although each model may offer advantages over others, they all make a key assumption - decision makers will actually follow the algorithms, if implemented. However, in many settings routing is not done by a computer that i...

摘要：In this study, we characterize the optimal compensation scheme for a firm that sells a single product with a limited stocking quantity through a sales agent. Our focus is on understanding how the supply-demand mismatch costs affect the firm's optimal compensation scheme. There are two main findings. First, under the deterministic demand response, the classical optimality result of the convex increasing compensation scheme breaks with the consideration of supply-demand mismatch costs. Instead, ...

摘要：The provision of essential supplies is a key service provided by retailers when demand spikes due to consumer stockpiling during environmental emergencies. Moreover, it is important for retailers to quickly recover from these events by replenishing the stock of essential supplies to meet the continuing needs of local residents. The main purpose of this research is to study consumer precautionary stockpiling behavior prior to the onset of hurricane landfalls and determine the impact of this beh...

摘要：This study investigates how the affiliation of dialysis facilities within chain organizations of varying sizes impacts efficiency and quality outcomes of these facilities. We develop our hypotheses by building on the literature base that relates to organizational learning. The paper uses a panel dataset spanning the years 2008-2013. The efficiency of the dialysis facilities is operationalized by means of a data envelopment analysis model. This model considers the number of treatments in the di...

摘要：Motivated by the recent reshoring initiatives, we study firms' global sourcing strategies from two different supply sources, offshore and onshore supply bases, under supply and demand uncertainty. Interestingly, even though onshore sourcing has a significant benefit from market responsiveness, offshore sourcing having no cost advantage also provides benefits in the presence of yield uncertainty and market competition. If competing firms commit single sourcing, one firm may choose inferior offs...
