摘要：We analyze product reusability, executed through refurbishment, amid supply disruptions. Consumers trade in used units, which can later be refurbished and sold. Using a three-period model, we determine the optimal reusability level, trade-in and refurbishment policies, trade-in fee, and the prices of new and refurbished units. Our analysis provides a useful framework to understand the interaction between a firm's choice of product reusability and the possibility of supply disruptions. First, w...

摘要：The recent elimination of the United States de minimis exemption for import tariffs has been reported to have a significant impact on ultra-fresh fashion companies such as Shein and Temu. This article develops a game-theoretic model to investigate the impact of such tariffs. Specifically, we consider a model for a global ultra-fresh fashion supply chain with economies of scale under tariff hikes. Our model analysis reveals the following main insights. First, the ultra-fresh fashion firm would ...

摘要：Numerous existing studies have examined the performance of Sample Average Approximation (SAA) in the fundamental newsvendor problem. Despite these advances, critical gaps remain in two aspects. First, existing works focus on the linear-cost newsvendor problem and heavily rely on the quantile expression of the optimal solution. As a result, their analytical methods limit generalizability to more general inventory problems, where the optimal solution is not a quantile of the demand distribution....

摘要：Recent innovations have driven a steady increase in online marketplace transactions. To remain competitive, numerous marketplace platforms and independent data providers offer Competitive Intelligence Services (CIS), enabling sellers to explore not only their market potential but also that of their competitors. In this article, we employ a two-period game-theoretic approach to competitive learning to analyze the impact of CIS on participants with varying market shares in an online marketplace....

摘要：This paper analyzes the academic evolution and educational progress of Operations and Supply Chain Management in China. The field has transformed over recent decades. It has transitioned from a knowledge-importing phase to indigenous innovation. We show that China has built a massive educational infrastructure and research system. This study proposes an innovative Institutional-Dynamic-Organizational (IDO) model to systematically evaluate this trajectory. Historical bibliometric data analysis ...

摘要：Firms routinely outsource their business requirements to external agents for many reasons; for example, to focus on their core competencies or to save costs. However, overbilling by agents has been well-acknowledged as a notorious problem across major industries, including healthcare, information technology, legal services, and engineering. Mitigating overbilling is challenging in practice; typical options for firms include auditing agents or suspending relationships with them. While firms wou...

摘要：We study the impact of planogram design (i.e., placement of products on shelves) and display fees (i.e., fees manufacturers pay retailers for prime shelf space) on a retailer's category management strategy and interactions with national brand manufacturers (NBMs). We consider a game-theoretic model with one retailer and multiple NBMs. Each NBM offers one product. In addition, the retailer has the option to introduce a store brand (SB) product. If the retailer decides to introduce its SB, it ne...

摘要：With the rapid growth of omnichannel retailing and the takeaway delivery economy, the classic point-to-point mode for on-demand delivery is deficient in delivery capacity, coverage area, dispatching efficiency, and courier safety assurance. Inspired by the success of Dabbawala, a historical Indian company for lunch delivery, we propose a novel public on-demand delivery service system that uses the public transit network to satisfy stochastic delivery demands. In particular, the proposed system...

摘要：This research investigates the joint impact of numeric ratings and review sentiments in prior product reviews on consumers' product evaluations and how this impact varies between individualist and collectivist cultures. Using data on 115,231 consumer reviews of 167 American movies released both in the United States and China, the authors find that the joint impact of movie ratings and review sentiments varies with the consistency between the two information sources, as well as their valence. F...

摘要：As consumer demand for transparency and accountability in product sourcing grows, traceability-enabled technologies are increasingly adopted across supply chains. This paper explores the diverse impacts of traceability on product quality and supply chain welfare, particularly on pricing and responsibility sharing among stakeholders. We develop a multi-agent game-theoretic model to investigate how effective traceability systems are in enhancing product quality and supply chain members' welfare....
