  摘要：Disputes between retailers and manufacturers often result in the retailer delisting the manufacturer's products, which dramatically alters competition in the retail market. When rival products are temporarily delisted, the products remaining on retail shelves are expected to gain sales due to substitution. However, it is unclear how much sales gain of remaining products can be expected, how long the sales gain persists after the rival products are relisted, whether the sales gain varies in dif...
• Optimal selling scheme in social networks: hierarchical signaling, sequential selling, and chain structure AI翻译

  摘要：We study the optimal selling scheme when a seller sells a product/service with a positive consumption externality, and customers are uncertain about the product's/service's value. Because early adopters learn this value, we consider the customers' intrinsic signaling incentives and positive feedback effects. Allowing the seller to choose the sequence of customers' decisions (as an endogenous hierarchy) implies that signaling takes place in multiple rounds. To tackle this hierarchical signaling...

  摘要：This paper investigates how managers in the upstream firm (i.e., supplier) adjust their allocations of cost resources in response to managerial expectations of the downstream firms (i.e., customers) on the future demand and prospects. We conduct an empirical analysis to examine the impact of the tone of customers' forward-looking disclosures (FLDs) contained in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of 10-K filings on suppliers' asymmetric cost behaviors, characterizing costs decreasin...

  摘要：Researchers in the marketing and operations management literature have investigated the issue of making optimal media planning decisions for advertising. Brand marketers have recently begun using online intent advertising (OIA), which is online advertising such as search or display advertising targeted at consumer intent, for brand building. Unlike traditional media advertising, OIA is sold through an auction of indicators of consumer intent such as keyword phrases. This practice raises questi...

  摘要：Our research investigates a joint inventory replenishment and pricing problem, where a seller controls the price of a leading product while restocking for all the products. We demonstrate that the seller's expected value functions present an L-(sic)-concave structure, recommending an optimal order-up-to inventory-level and list-price policy. Our findings reveal divergent economic relationships between products from the seller's and customer's perspectives, suggesting managers broaden their str...
• Robust condition-based production and maintenance planning for degradation management AI翻译

  摘要：We study the robust production and maintenance control for a production system subject to degradation. A periodic maintenance scheme is considered, and the system production rate can be dynamically adjusted before maintenance, serving as a proactive way of degradation management. Optimal control of the degradation rate aims to strike a balance between the risk of failure and the production profit. We first consider the scenario in which the degradation rate increases linearly with the producti...
• The framework of parametric and nonparametric operational data analytics AI翻译

  摘要：This paper introduces the general philosophy of the Operational Data Analytics (ODA) framework for data-based decision modeling. The fundamental development of this framework lies in establishing the direct mapping from data to decision by identifying the appropriate class of operational statistics. The efficient decision making relies on a careful balance between data integration and decision validation. Through a canonical decision making problem under uncertainty, we show that the existing ...

  摘要：Motivated by interactions with a major player in the aerospace industry, we consider the relationship between a supplier of specialty material forgings and a buyer that manufactures airplane components by extensively machining down these forgings as per component design specifications. Due to high material removal costs, the buyer prefers these forgings to be as similar in geometry and size to the component as possible, that is, near-net-shape. The supplier, by default, is unable to deliver su...
• The role of product and market information in an online marketplace AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper, we study how provision of product information and/or market information affects buyers' and sellers' behavior and the resultant sales in an online marketplace. We first identify the Pareto-dominant equilibrium for the sellers' pricing decisions. Then, we study the impact of market parameters on the sales of the platform in equilibrium, under various information structures. We find that the platform's sales increase with the size of potential buyers but change nonmonotonically wi...

  摘要：Online arbitrage, a recent trend on e-commerce platforms, occurs when a firm (the arbitrage firm) copies the product description of another firm (the designer firm, who is the original seller of the product) and sells the product at a marked-up price on a different platform from the designer firm. Once receiving a consumer's order, the arbitrage firm creates an order at the designer firm with a fake account and the consumer's shipping information. In this process, the designer firms fulfill al...
