  摘要：Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) rely heavily on fundraising activities to generate the resources necessary to fulfill their missions and sustain their programs and services. While fundraising is inherently labor-intensive, current research often overlooks the return on labor investment when evaluating performance. Furthermore, NPOs face a critical decision regarding the allocation of fundraising teams across diverse solicitation methods to generate revenue, yet existing literature presents conf...
• Experiences, Experience Gaps, and the Moderating Role of Technology Co-Development in Biotech-Pharma Partnerships AI翻译

  摘要：In the life sciences industry, pharmaceutical firms often collaborate with biotechnology firms to access technological expertise and R&D capabilities, enabling them to accelerate innovation and bring products to market more effectively. In this study, we examine the collaboration experiences of biotechnology startups and pharmaceutical firms in 287 biotech-pharma partnerships and analyze how firms' experience impacts the likelihood of product commercialization. Experience is defined as the num...
• All That Glitters Is Not Code? Understanding the Predictors of Developer Popularity and Sponsorship on a Social Coding Platform AI翻译

  摘要：A developer's popularity plays a crucial role in their success within open source software (OSS) communities and their access to sponsorship opportunities. This study seeks to answer the question: which signals have the most predictive power for popularity and sponsorship volume on social coding platforms? Using algorithm-supported abductive theory generation supplemented by qualitative insights from observations and interviews, we arrive at a theory of peer evaluation in OSS communities. We e...

  摘要：The number of recruitment postings on digital recruitment hiring platforms has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the weak surveillance and operations of these platforms, combined with the fact that most job seekers have relatively low vigilance and a strong desire for recruitment offers, enable scammers to easily deceive job seekers for their money and confidential information. In this work, we combine prevailing text mining techniques (i.e., ChatGPT with prompting engineering an...
• Turbocharging the competitor: Unintended spillovers of personnel on-road insurance implementation in ride-sourcing industry AI翻译

  摘要：In response to social protests, transportation network companies introduced incentive programs to improve hourly utilization and retain drivers. While such initiatives assume increased driver commitment, their impact on labor allocation across competing gig economy platforms remains unexplored. This study uses a quasi-experimental design and analyzes 20 weeks of data comprising over 75 million trips to examine spillover effects of an East Asian platform's comprehensive personnel on-road insura...
• Robust Data-Driven Design of a Smart Cardiac Arrest Response System AI翻译

  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...
• Algorithmic Supervisor and Employee Performance AI翻译

  摘要：In this article, we explore the impact of implementing an algorithmic supervisor, a data analytics tool that offers real-time feedback to employees, on their overall performance. We collaborate with a leading service company that initiated the transition from human supervisors to an algorithmic supervisor for managing call agents in their outbound call center on September 18, 2019. We collect data for 220,085 calls over a span of 6 months-that is, 3 months before and 3 months after the introdu...
• Probabilistic Selling with Customization? A Theoretical Analysis AI翻译

  摘要：Customized mystery bag/box products are examples of a new business model of combining probabilistic selling and customization in practice. We develop an analytical framework to study the economic value of customized mystery bag/box products and explore the interrelationship between probabilistic selling and customization. We define probabilistic selling and customization to be complements (substitutes) as that customization increases (decreases) the value of probabilistic selling. We find that...
• Bridging Adversarial and Nonstationary Multi-Armed Bandit AI翻译

  摘要：In the multi-armed bandit framework, there are two formulations that are commonly employed to handle time-varying reward distributions: adversarial bandit and nonstationary bandit. Although their oracles, algorithms, and regret analysis differ significantly, we provide a unified formulation in this article that smoothly bridges the two as special cases. The formulation uses an oracle that takes the best action sequences within a switch budget. Depending on the switch budget, it turns into the ...

  摘要：The resale of used products presents the challenge of cannibalization, particularly pronounced in digital goods markets where perfect substitutes are easily replicable. In this article, we assert that, rather than a threat, resale can serve as an effective pricing tool for managing heterogeneous demand. We consider a seller of digital goods/services who offers a contract to a heterogeneous group of customers at a fixed price for a specified amount of usage allowance. Rather than imposing restr...
