摘要：We empirically examine the effect of customers' social capital on the financial performance of suppliers. Social capital, as captured by the strength of secular norms and the density of social networks in local geographical regions, reflects social influences surrounding corporate headquarters. Because customers' social capital could constrain their opportunistic behaviors and improve supply chain collaboration through its influence on managers' moral values and external monitoring, we hypothe...

摘要：Exercise-tracking apps are digital tools for delivering personalized behavioral interventions. Despite the growing usage of exercise applications, the efficacy of in-exercise app features in driving usage and athletic outcomes remains poorly understood. To remain competitive, sports organizations now need to leverage tracking tools to efficiently allocate resources and streamline training regimens and interventions for their core assets (i.e., athletes). In response to these operational needs,...

摘要：Online crowdfunding platforms have created new avenues for investors to finance existing businesses or new business ventures of project creators. Project creators who launch crowdfunding campaigns can provide progress updates to potential investors throughout the fundraising process, helping to alleviate potential investors' uncertainty about the project's success. However, limited attention has been given to the strategic decisions of project creators on when to provide campaign updates. In t...

摘要：We study the U.S. Coin Supply Chain from both the demand and supply side perspectives to improve coin circulation in the economy. More specifically, we provide an operating policy for Depository Institutions (DIs) to improve their efficiency in packaging, distributing, coordinating, and managing the inventory of coins. We further propose a new policy (via a Rewards Program) to increase coin circulation in the economy and optimally determine a reward price, which, if implemented by the Federal ...

摘要：Social interactions are becoming increasingly central to the day-to-day operations of digital platforms. In this study, we investigate how negative peer feedback shapes user behavior in an online review platform. Leveraging fine-grained digital trace data of users throughout their tenure on the platform, we find interesting insights regarding the impact of negative peer feedback. First, negative feedback improves user retention on the platform relative to users who receive no feedback at all. ...

摘要：The economic significance of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms is evident from the proliferation of smart home assistant platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Home that center themselves around providing unique and connected experiences to users. Customers do not perceive these platforms valuable if they do not experience adequate levels of quality and security from both the platform and applications (apps) they use. Therefore, the IoT platform provider as well as app developers need to go b...

摘要：As an emerging social technology, live streaming has facilitated a synchronous and interactive selling setting for e-commerce sellers and consumers. Despite growing operations management (OM) in e-commerce live streaming (ELS), the prior literature has largely neglected the directive social operations of ELS broadcasters, which are crucial to a company's business operations and marketing strategies. To mitigate this gap, we investigated the effects of social call-to-actions (SCTAs), an ELS-spe...

摘要：To encourage small business inclusion in public procurement, the U.S. federal government has established the set-aside program that mandates government agencies to award a portion of their contracts to small businesses. We study whether and to what extent the performance of R&D contracts awarded through this program differs from those awarded through open competition. Analyzing a large dataset of federal R&D contracts, we find that despite restricting competition to small businesses, set-aside...

摘要：With the rise of the digital economy, many firms are enhancing product line flexibility (i.e., the ability to adjust product line length or depth) to better manage demand uncertainties brought about by disruptive technologies. Concurrently, the booming digital economy has widened the information gap in supply chains. Retailers/platforms can now gather more detailed data to predict demand, but such data remains unavailable to manufacturers. This article studies how a manufacturer's product line...

摘要：We consider a periodical equilibrium pricing problem for multiple firms over a planning horizon of T periods. At each period, firms set their selling prices and receive stochastic demand from consumers. Firms do not know their underlying demand curve, but they wish to determine the selling prices to maximize total revenue under competition. Hence, they have to do some price experiments such that the observed demand data are informative to make price decisions. However, uncoordinated price upda...
