摘要：Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD) is an arrangement in which a retailer allows a manufacturer to execute in-store operations such as shelf replenishments. This paper studies the economic drivers and implications of DSD for retailers and manufacturers. We consider a distribution channel where two competing manufacturers sell their products via a shelf-space constrained retailer. The shelf space allocated to each product affects the cost associated with in-store operations. The retailer can offer DSD ...

摘要：To enhance performance, buying firms often use supplier governance mechanisms, such as explicit contracts, to coordinate efforts. Yet, it is unclear how these governance mechanisms would perform in extralegal exchanges, whereby suppliers may renege on the contract with little or no legal recourse. Furthermore, there is a paucity of studies examining these extralegal exchanges in the presence of an external market willing to pay higher prices, thus tempting suppliers to renege on existing agree...

摘要：This study provides key arguments and contributions of Kuhn (1970) concerning paradigms, paradigm shifts, and scientific revolutions. We provide interpretations of Kuhn's (1970) key ideas and concepts, especially as they relate to business management research. We conclude by considering the practical implications of paradigms and paradigm shifts for contemporary business management researchers and suggest that ethical rules of conversation are at least as critical for the health of a scientifi...

The manufacturer or 3PL can act as the guarantor for the retailer who borrows bank credit.

摘要：This study provides empirical evidence on the effect of the September 2015 Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal on the stock prices of publicly traded firms in the global automotive ecosystem. We focus on both the supply chain partners of VW-tier-1 suppliers; tier-2 suppliers; and business customers-and three groups of firms that are not VW supply chain partners-other motor vehicle manufacturers; parts manufacturers not identified as VW suppliers; and wholesalers, retailers, and rental agencies...

摘要：We investigate whether labor unionization of customer firms affects the operating performance of their dependent suppliers. Using a sample of U.S. union elections, our regression discontinuity tests show that passing a union election leads to a 6.9 percentage-point decline in supplier operating margin in the following year. Such negative effects are more pronounced for customers with stronger bargaining power vis-a-vis dependent suppliers. Additional tests show that the reduced supplier operat...

摘要：Two-sided platforms are often coupled with exclusive hardware products that connect two sides of users, the consumers of the hardware product (i.e., buyers) and the application developers (i.e., sellers). The hardware product in the platform business model introduces three important issues that are not yet well understood in the literature of platform pricing: potentially downward-trending production cost, product quality improvements, and consumers' strategic behaviors. Using analytical model...

摘要：In this study, we consider a company that uses two channels for trading: long-term contracts and spot markets. With a quantity flexibility long-term contract, the buyer commits to purchasing at least as much as the minimum order quantity and is able to reserve capacity with the forward contract supplier up to the maximum order quantity in each period at a predetermined price. Through the spot market, the buyer can order or sell inventory at an uncertain future spot price without quantity limit...
