摘要：In this paper, we propose an inventory model that considers dual sources with energy storage to address the energy efficiency of an effective make-to-stock production facility that has access to grid electricity and a source of renewable energy, along with energy-storage capabilities. Such systems are being implemented in practice; however, the literature on inventory models does not offer solutions for extracting value from the management of such a complex energy mix coupled to energy-storage...

摘要：This study aims to examine and design operational strategies for mixed flows of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and human-driven vehicles (HVs). We propose a stylized model wherein utilitarian individuals either drive HVs or take privately operated AVs that are collectively dispatched. In the baseline mixed policy where AVs and HVs share the same lanes, we find that AVs under-join the traffic (queue) while HVs over-join. We identify a crowding-out effect such that AVs will tend to mitigate the over-...

摘要：Managing patients with chronic conditions is challenging. It requires timely care adjustments based on the patient's health status. We leverage big data to optimize patient monitoring frequencies and improve treatment. Our research is motivated by the need to improve patient care at the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals. We propose an integrated model to better serve patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is prevalent, complex, and costly. The demand for kidney care has steadily increas...

摘要：This study investigates diagnostic testing and pharmacy expenditures, commonly referred to as ancillary costs in the United States acute-care hospitals. These ancillary costs are charges associated with services provided to support patient treatment, including laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy charges. Despite of investment in inter-organizational and technological collaboration practices, these costs continue to rise. Our research examines the role of individual healthcare providers, namely...

摘要：Traditionally, outlet stores were situated away from main stores in order to provide older, less desirable products at discounted prices. More recently, some firms have featured an outlet-within-a-store concept and offer consumers the experience of outlet shopping at the same location. With interest in examining the effect of location differentiation and uncertain outlet store's product fit on a firm's distribution strategy, we model a firm with an existing main store and study its motivation ...

摘要：Retailers are often short on capacity, so a logical assumption would be that retailers could improve their profits by acquiring more. In this study, we show that this is not necessarily true, because retailer's capacity has a strategic role in channel distribution. Specifically, we consider a setting with multiple suppliers and a common retailer. Our analysis reveals that, first, when the retailer's capacity is limited, its suppliers will compete head-to-head for the retailer's capacity, there...

摘要：We consider a high-technology supply chain wherein a manufacturer is sourcing a new component from a monopolistic supplier who has limited production capacity. We focus on a setting wherein the manufacturer has decided to adopt the component but has not introduced the end product to the market and the manufacturer's task is to negotiate with the supplier for the procurement price before a deadline. The only uncertainty is the number of manufacturers adopting this component, which determines th...

摘要：Angel investors provide a unique role in startup entities: in addition to providing financing, they also provide expertise and make critical operational and managerial decisions. As a result, a startup not only seeks funding from its angel investor, but also strives to ensure that their expertise promotes entrepreneurial success. This study formalizes a model of optimal equity sharing with angel investors in light of the facts that (i) they have private information about their expertise, (ii) ...

摘要：Our study aims to deepen the understanding of personalized digital nudges by evaluating their effects on energy-saving behavior. We conducted a field experiment with a leading smart metering company in South Korea to investigate whether customers save more energy when a personalized goal and feedback are provided, and how the impacts of nudges vary according to the types of misperception. Specifically, we focused on the behavior of customers who underestimate or overestimate their past electri...
