• Bundling Variety, Usage, or Both? A Multi-Service Analysis of Pay-Per-Use and Subscription Pricing AI翻译

  摘要：We depart from the classic bundling literature on single-unit purchases and develop a multi-unit demand model in which customers decide both the variety and volume of their purchased products. We integrate product bundling with two commonly used usage-based pricing schemes in the service industry, pay-per-use and subscriptions, and examine pricing tactics that span both variety and usage. Our model captures customers' diminishing margins of consumption, and we demonstrate an intricate interpla...
• Information Sharing Between Competitors With Endogenous Production Timing AI翻译

  摘要：We study two competing firms' incentives for demand information sharing and their production timing strategies. One firm adopts routine timing, where her production time is fixed according to her previous product models' manufacturing time. The other firm uses strategic timing, where his production time can be strategically chosen to occur before, concurrently with, or after that of the routine-timing firm. The firms decide whether to disclose their private demand information and make quantity...
• Trend-Chasing Versus Minimalism: Selling Fewer, Better Products to Fashion-Sensitive Customers AI翻译

  摘要：Fashion sellers are sometimes critiqued for selling low durability products, resulting in waste. Blame is also directed at consumers, who purchase new fashions despite having accumulated a closet full of prior fashions. The slow fashion movement encourages sellers to produce higher durable products, thus supporting less frequent purchases by consumers. Using an infinite-time model and considering strategic consumer behavior, including their ability to accumulate a closet of varieties over time...
• Which Is More Rewarding in Managing Sea-Level Rise and Hurricane Storm Surge Flooding: Mitigation or Response? AI翻译

  摘要：This study aims to extend the existing climate-change-induced flood mitigation research. We introduce an at-risk network to evaluate optimal cost-benefit strategies for creating dikes and levees to mitigate flood hazard over multiple years. Our proposed model includes the expected flood costs, estimated using possible climate-change-induced sea-level states throughout the planning horizon, and the investment costs for developing dikes and levees via land elevations across the at-risk network. ...
• Managing Sales via Livestream Commerce: Implications of Price Negotiation and Consumer Price Search AI翻译

  摘要：Livestream commerce has become an important sales channel with billions of revenue potential. A major challenge that brands often face in managing livestream sales in practice is negotiating sales prices and commission rates with key opinion leaders (KOLs) who promote products in such sales. On the one hand, KOLs can increase consumer reach, enhance consumer valuation of a product, and improve profitability of a sale. On the other hand, KOLs-who typically promise low sales prices in livestream...
• Service Activity and Patented Innovation in Manufacturing Firms AI翻译

  摘要：Noting the significant shift in the manufacturing sector towards services in recent decades, this study examines the potential of service operations as a source of customer insight. We study whether regular customer exposure during service operations can drive commercially significant and patentable innovation. Furthermore, we highlight the underexplored heterogeneity in the knowledge-generating potential of service activities. Using the media richness theory, we argue that more contact-intens...
• A Nonparametric Learning Algorithm for a Stochastic Multi-echelon Inventory Problem AI翻译
  作者：Yang, Cong; Huh, Woonghee Tim
  作者单位：University of British Columbia
  摘要：We consider a periodic-review single-product multi-echelon inventory problem with instantaneous replenishment. In each period, the decision-maker makes ordering decisions for all echelons. Any unsatisfied demand is back-ordered, and any excess inventory is carried to the next period. In contrast to the classic inventory literature, we assume that the information of the demand distribution is not known a priori, and the decision-maker observes demand realizations over the planning horizon. We p...
• Benefits of Collaboration on Capacity Investment and Allocation AI翻译

  摘要：This paper studies how capacity collaboration can benefit two competing firms. We consider a two-stage model where capacity decisions are made in the first stage when there are significant uncertainties about market conditions, and then production decisions are made in the second stage after most of these uncertainties are resolved. We vary the degree of collaboration between the two firms in their capacity and production decisions, examining multiple models and comparing the outcomes. We find...
• Remote Learning and Educational Inequality AI翻译

  摘要：Educational equity serves as a cornerstone for a fair and flourishing society. However, existing research consistently highlights the presence of educational disparities between developed and developing regions. Remote learning, a transformative educational approach altering knowledge dissemination and access, takes center stage. Our study delves into the potential of remote learning to bridge this educational divide. Analyzing students' performance in China's National College Entrance Examina...
• Aligning With Metrics: Differential Impact of IT and Organizational Metrics on Cognitive Coordination in Top Management Teams AI翻译

  摘要：Achieving cognitive coordination in cross-functional teams is a perennial challenge in organizations. It is especially challenging in the context of information systems, where strategic alignment remains a top concern of leaders despite decades of research on the topic. In this study, we develop and empirically validate a theoretical model that explores the role of communicating about performance metrics in fostering cognitive coordination between the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and top ma...
