摘要：We study the impact of three well-known inventory allocation mechanisms, including proportional, linear, and uniform, on the ordering behavior of retailers serviced from a central distribution center. Based on the allocation mechanism, retailers may have an incentive to adjust (either inflate or deflate) their orders to gain a more favorable allocation, a behavior that may reduce allocation efficiency from a system perspective. We find that while all three mechanisms are centrally optimal unde...

摘要：This is an exploratory study to analyze the permeation of the term/word analytics in the operations management domain by reviewing 2175 papers published in the Production and Operations Management journal (POMJ) since its inception in the winter 1992 until the summer of 2022. We identify the words that commonly precede the term analytics in these papers. We also identify the most common words that appear in the research papers in which the term analytics has appeared. This analysis allows us t...

摘要：Industry 4.0 technologies have been regarded as powerful means to enhance a firm's competitiveness in the Internet of Things environment. However, implementing Industry 4.0 technologies calls for considerable capital expenditure and might interrupt normal production in the short term. This study conducts an empirical analysis of the impact of investing in Industry 4.0 technologies based on a sample of 563 investment announcements of publicly listed firms on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shen...

摘要：A challenge for online retail firms is managing stockouts of products when substitutes are available. We develop a game-theoretic model to analyze the competition between multiple-product online firms and characterize the scenarios when they can use prices as stockout recovery mechanisms. Depending on the consumer costs of searching for unfamiliar substitute products on their sites and the consumer mismatch costs of shopping at backup compared to favorite firms, in our primary analysis, we dem...

摘要：Although algorithmic decision support is omnipresent in many managerial tasks, a lack of algorithm transparency is often stated as a barrier to successful human-machine collaboration. In this paper, we analyze the effects of algorithm transparency on the use of advice from algorithms with different degrees of complexity. We conduct a set of laboratory experiments in which participants receive identical advice from algorithms with different levels of transparency and complexity. Our results ind...

摘要：Software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications have experienced a decade of explosive growth, eliminating barriers in reaching users and enabling real-time interchanges and intelligence. Using business analytics, SaaS applications are increasingly embedded in the day-to-day activities of businesses and consumers with competition and innovative pricing. Due to the evolution in cloud business models, new issues are surfacing to challenge practitioners and scholars. A number of issues encountered in t...

摘要：In this paper, we explore why users' experiences with emerging supply chain technologies comprise inflated expectations followed by disappointment in the early stages of adoption, as per the Gartner Hype Cycle. We used affordance theory to study how managers perceive emerging technologies to explain their adoption experience. Affordance theory indicates that perceived benefits-and goals and constraints-depend on the interaction between technology and the users, not on the technology alone. Fir...

摘要：Innovation contests within firms offer the potential to tap latent employee expertise across the organization and expand innovation beyond the core R&D teams. Still, firms undertaking an internal contest, unlike the more commonly studied external contests, incur significant opportunity costs when employees divert their efforts toward the contest (and away from their routine work). Managing this key challenge forms the focus of the current study, with the overarching question being How should f...

摘要：We consider an order allocation game in which a manufacturer sources from two suppliers due to supply capacity limitations and allocates uneven orders to take advantage of incremental quantity discount. Laboratory experiments are conducted to examine empirical decisions by all three members in this dual sourcing channel. We observe that the supplier who receives large orders mostly agrees to supply; however, the supplier who receives small orders frequently refuses to supply. Consequently, the...
