摘要:National culture plays a vital role in shaping operations management (OM) practices, yet its impact remains largely underexplored. This paper builds on the Gupta and Gupta's cross-cultural OM research framework that consists of three categories: operational decisions, supply chain management, and interdisciplinary topics. It highlights how national culture influences key areas such as product return policies, dynamic operations complexity, and buyer-supplier conflict management in cross-cultur...

摘要:Scoring systems, as a type of predictive model, have significant advantages in interpretability and transparency and facilitate quick decision-making. As such, scoring systems have been extensively used in a wide variety of industries, such as healthcare and criminal justice. However, the fairness issues in these models have long been criticized, and the use of big data and machine learning (ML) algorithms in the construction of scoring systems heightens this concern. This article proposes a g...

摘要:The long drug approval process in the United States imposes significant development costs on firms and delays access for patients, especially when a therapy that addresses a condition with no existing treatments shows early promise. To shorten approval timelines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has instituted expedited pathways that are designed to bring the most promising therapies to patients more quickly. In this paper, we study the safety implications of the newest of the four exped...

摘要:We evaluate economic immunity to the COVID-19 pandemic accorded by a sector's exposure to artificial intelligence (AI). Using an event study design, we causally estimate the impact of AI industry exposure (AIIE) on shifts in economic activity following the first pandemic-induced lockdown in India. We use payments data from one of India's largest payment gateways and find that a one-standard-deviation increase in AIIE arrests the post-pandemic decline in industry payments by a third. High AIIE ...

摘要:The impact of doctor-patient interactions on patients' service evaluations in online medical consultations (OMCs) has received considerable attention. However, prior research has mainly focused on the individual-level and statistical features of these interactions, with limited exploration of dyad-level dynamics in doctor-patient bidirectional communication. To address this gap, this study examines both individual-level and dyad-level features of online doctor-patient interactions to understan...

摘要:With the rapid development of the sharing economy, many traditional manufacturers gravitate toward the paradigm shift to embrace product/service sharing with B2C (i.e., business-to-consumer) and P2P (i.e., peer-to-peer) sharing models. We develop a duopoly model to investigate the strategic decisions of competing manufacturers regarding three product-sharing strategies: no-sharing (i.e., sales-only), P2P sharing (i.e., sharing products on a P2P platform in addition to sales), and B2C sharing (...

摘要:Cardiac arrests are a significant health concern in the United States, as more than 350,000 occur annually and 90% of them are fatal. Providing quick access to automated external defibrillators is paramount since irreversible damage to vital organs occurs within minutes without cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation. We propose a novel optimization model to design a network of drones delivering automated external defibrillators in response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The netw...

摘要:How should retailers and sellers distribute inventory across a large network of (potentially hundreds of) distribution centers? Motivated by the emerging challenges of inventory allocation facing volatile demand, we develop distributionally robust network inventory management policies with cross-fulfillment using a scenario-based approach that is adaptable to feature information and demand correlation. We analytically demonstrate the value of scenario modeling for a two-location newsvendor pro...

摘要:Energy access remains a critical challenge in developing countries due to the unreliability of the power grid. This article studies a servicizing framework in which a third-party firm, distinct from the grid provider, installs and operates a solar-battery system for grid-connected households and charges usage-based fees for energy consumption. The participation service fee is set based on current average household electricity costs, which include the use of gasoline generators during outages. ...

摘要:Recent press coverage of piracy and digital goods touts the practice of subscription (as opposed to selling) as a piracy killer. However, the effectiveness of digital goods subscriptions remains controversial in terms of the profitability for different supply chain members, including content providers and retailers. Specifically, the dearth of existing studies concerning business model choices in distribution channel structures indicates that the literature has yet to provide a comprehensive a...
