  摘要：Equity investment in agricultural cooperatives (co-ops) is typically limited to farmer-members; yet farmers are usually cash-constrained. In addition to the common stock that is held by farmer-members, many co-ops are changing their financial structure by raising equity from external investors. This helps co-ops to collect capital, but also brings to the fore the conflicting benefits of farmers and external investors. In this paper, we develop a two-stage game-theoretic model to examine a star...

  摘要：Firms are increasingly relying on electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), in the form of online reviews and social media posts, to sell their products or services. A pivotal component of managing eWOM is to understand and, potentially influence, how one consumer's eWOM can lead to another's-a process called behavioral cascading. While prior eWOM research has established the importance of behavioral cascading between connected users, there is little understanding of what factors could impact the likel...

  摘要：This study investigates the determinants of salary for operations management scholars. Is it as some opine that the only thing that matters is the publication count in A journals? How do the full range of activities: research, teaching, service, and administration, affect salary? The present research seeks to shed light on these questions and is predicated on a data set that consists of the research, teaching, and service outcomes, along with salary, for a full census of operations management ...

  摘要：It is a common practice that business and economy compartments share the seating capacity of a short or medium-haul European flight, with the middle seats in the business compartment kept vacant to enhance comfort and privacy for business passengers. The two compartments are separated by a movable curtain whose position determines the capacity allocated to each compartment. By postponing the decision on curtain position until departure, airlines gain extra flexibility in their capacity allocat...

  摘要：Theoretical and empirical evidence point to the ability of political leaders to manipulate economic policies and leverage local firms to elevate their political careers. Despite this, there is limited understanding of how these career incentives impact the operational dynamics of the firms involved. This empirical study delves into this gap, revealing that city leaders with fewer promotional incentives are more inclined to mobilize state-owned enterprises (SOEs) within their jurisdiction to pu...
• Effects of Scarcity-Induced Demand on Crowdfunding Market AI翻译

  摘要：Fundraisers on reward-based crowdfunding platforms have increasingly sought to base their promotional strategy on the principle of scarcity. Although previous studies find that using a limited-edition inventory contributes to the success of campaigns, it remains unknown how fundraisers should leverage a scarcity strategy in the upfront design of reward options. Using a unique dynamic panel dataset from a leading reward-based crowdfunding platform, we develop a hierarchical Bayesian model to ca...
• To Hinder or to Facilitate: Retailers' Strategy of Consumer Information Sharing AI翻译

  摘要：Consumer information sharing is considered an effective strategy to attract consumers, yet certain high-end retailers, such as Bergdorf Goodman and Farfetch, tend to hinder consumers from sharing information through online reviews. We study a retailer's strategy for consumer information sharing in a supply chain. We find that a retailer's information sharing strategy can prevent manufacturers from extracting excessive profit when consumers are heterogeneous in their valuations of the selling p...
• Contagious Stock Price Crashes Along the Supply Chain AI翻译

  摘要：Although risk management is widely regarded as an important topic within supply chain (SC) management, little research studies the contagious effect of risk factors along SC networks. By using stock price crashes as an indicator of risk factors, our study reveals that stock price crash risk can be transmitted from major customers to suppliers with a delay of up to two weeks. We show that the information opacity of suppliers is a factor that potentially contributes to the delayed crash contagio...
• Reward-Based Crowdfunding Versus Initial Coin Offerings AI翻译

  摘要：Inspired by emerging financing techniques that offer additional financing options for entrepreneurs, we establish a stylized model to compare two prevalent crowdfunding strategies: Reward-based crowdfunding and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). First, we highlight that the fundamental difference between reward-based crowdfunding and ICO lies in the distinct types of price distortion, resulting in different agency costs. Specifically, compared to the first-best benchmark, reward-based crowdfunding...
• Gaining From Losing a Competition in Product Variety AI翻译

  摘要：This article studies the impact of a competing firm's substantial expansion in product variety, achieved through modularity and delayed differentiation, on the sales and inventory of the focal firm in the market. Intuitively, the firm's sales are expected to decrease when a competitor increases its product variety, as existing consumers are drawn to the greater range of competing products, resulting in a substitution effect. However, we also emphasize a simultaneous spillover effect, where the...
